                   The Mádl family significantly modernized the label and yet the drawing from the original
                   label, which is typical for their winery, has been preserved. The motif of the traditional wine

                                                 change, don‘t do it the same way as others.
                                                   A label is your crucial communication to-
                                                 wards customers.  Think twice about what
                                                 you want to tell them. It‘s okay to follow label
                                                 trends but always give priority to your unique-

                                                 of your brand.
                                                   Look around and see what labels others
                                                 have and then make a different one.
                                                   Imagine a shelf in a wine shop, where new
