The Art of Wine

The Art of Wine
If you walk into any wine shop, chances are you'll be dazzled by some of the beautiful labels adorning the bottles on the shelves. From contemporary to classic, wine labels have become a little piece of art that adorns your dinner table. One Italian winery takes this sentiment to heart and each year an artist designs the label for a limited edition of Nittardi winery's wine

From Stuff:
John Lennonlinks's widow Yoko Ono is the 25th artist commissioned by German art collector and owner of the Nittardi winery, Peter Femfert, to draw a label for a limited edition of his wine.

Every year since 1981, Femfert has "dressed" about 6,000 bottles of his wine - a Chianti with a fresh and fruity bouquet made from 97 percent Sangiovese grape and three percent local Canaiolo grape - with a special work of art. . .

This year Ono has produced a colored ink drawing entitled "Imagine you," a still life of bottles and glasses in a dotted style reminiscent of the late 19th century French painting style known as pointillism.
