How to convey luxury in a wine bottle? A perfect example - the poetically simple wine bottles from Buccella Wines.
Limited color palette (jet black bottle, creamy white label and rich red seal).
Texture (glossy bottle, uncoated paper label and deeply embossed real wax seal).
Less is more (the only clues about ‘who’ and ‘when’ are the logo in the seal and the artful ‘2005′ on the label).

Michael Young — the Hong-Kong-based British designer of practically everything — has just designed a startling black bottle for Japanese Nikka Whisky. The man who in addition to interiors and installations has designed furniture for Cappellini, lighting for Artemide, barware for Schweppes, Jewellery for Georg Jensen, polo shirts for LaCoste and bikes for Giant, seems to be able to find new ways to express old ideas.
Nikka Whisky Co., Ltd has made whisky since 1934 when Masataka Taketsuru returned from Scotland where he had became the first Japanese person to learn whisky making. Japan is now the world’s second-largest producer of single-malt whisky. One of the most popular in Japan is the 37% Black Nikka whisky, available at corner stores throughout Japan in tiny, medium and enormous (as in 4 liters) bottles. Nikka is part of one of the world’s largest beverage conglomerates, the Asahi Brewery Group.

Extending the classic style of the brand Veuve Clicquot this premium limited edition showcase, combines beauty with function. Designed by Porche Design and at $70,000 a pop, it may be a little out of us lowly designers range. At least the champagne gives us a taste of this classic style.
Measuring over six feet tall Vertical Limit holds 12 magnums of Clicquot’s most prized vintages and only 15 were made worldwide. Each Vertical Limit is fully handmade and each of the 12 vintages are housed in its own compartment with the temperature set at a constant 12 degrees celsius—ideal for tasting and the same climate as the Veuve Clicquot cellars in Reims, France.
“We wanted to create a product to match the ultra high-end superiority of the Veuve Clicquot brand, so we tried to emphasize the importance of each bottle. We thought that each bottle should have its own stage essentially. This is why we gave each bottle its own door coupled with the classic Veuve Clicquot yellow as a light. We did this so each bottle received the attention it deserves, rather than opening one door to a collection of bottles. In making a superior looking product we also decided to make the Vertical Limit a tall object”.
