What a fun idea. However, I'm not sure that I could actually stomach this brew. Only a couple experiences of classical conditioning have taught me that the words "with natural flavors" on a box equal a massive barfing hangover in the morning. But it was a lot of fun to track down the images. It all had a very familiar look to it, and it didn't take long to find all the individual elements.<br /><br />This is "shopped" using the image from the old Almaden boxes, prior to their recent re-design. The photo of the wine pouring into the foreground glass, and the fuzzy glass in the background, are cloned from the image used on the older Almaden Chard, Golden Chablis, Mountain Rhine Wine, and Mountain Chablis. They seem to have airbrushed out the medallion/seal graphic which was originally superimposed over the right side of that image.<br /><br />The inspiration for the font selections, the graphic element of the brass color bar under the "Bellina" name with the white letters on it (can't read what it says), and the words "with natural flavors", comes from Franzia (also from the older box design, not the current design).<br /><br />Sorry Dan, no banana wine in a box.Kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18002352461513913055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129135289902537739.post-61361356283350060662009-05-26T21:27:23.972-04:002009-05-26T21:27:23.972-04:00we bought a house, we have eight extra rooms in which we could make banana wine. we could do it. once our kitchen is usable i intend on becoming a master of sangria. i will become so fat from the amount of wine i will consume. oh wait- ab lounge!Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14854563216099124547noreply@blogger.com
