Lost Inhibitions

  • Karen Poon

In 2012, Church & State had a big problem at hand: they had overproduced one of their best selling wine blends. Firmly believing that consumers do judge a wine by its label, we decided to customize 500+ labels with relatable sayings for every mood and occasion. These cheeky labels resonated well with the market, and Church & State saw a 200% increase in sales. These wines don’t just start conversations, they are each a statement in themselves, and have completely disrupted the way consumers prioritize labels versus vintage.
