It’s been said for ages — making wine is a balance of science and art. Today, however, we’re going to focus on art. That is, the art that wraps our precious bottles of wine.
Home winemakers were able to pick up new hobbies as they found themselves with additional downtime at home in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. And, if the number of entries WineMaker received in our annual label contest (particularly from first-time entrants) was any indication, saying that many chose to start designing labels to decorate the bottles of their homemade wines is not an exaggeration.
