Grecian theme for Tesco wine

Pemberton and Whitefoord has designed the packaging for Tesco’s newly launched own-label wines. The group devised a three-part label overlaying images of Greek gods on an architectural ‘key’ motif. Zeus sits on the red wine label and Bacchus on the white. P&W also used a Greek-style typeface on the black name label underlying the main image. ‘Our objective was to imbue the new Tesco products with contemporary, yet authentic Grecian imagery, to distance them from cheaper products and generate expectations of a superior taste,’ says consultancy founder Simon Pemberton.
