I have decided to expand my personal business portfolio to also export wine.
Even though I have been active in this sector for about 10 years, I have never felt motivated to include wine in my business basket of offerings. Currently, my interest has been bulk agricultural food products such as tea, raisins, nuts & biltong as well as non agricultural commodities.
REQUEST:
I am in the process of developing a distinct wine brand for export purposes. Since we have very clever forum members I thought it will be fun, if I ask you peeps to come up with a "proverb or "quote" or popular "saying" that I can use on the label of the bottle to help tell the story of my new brand. An example of such a proverb or quote or saying is:
"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
BRAND:
The brand is being developed by professionals and will portray the positive value & impact of RAIN on viticulture, vineyards and the end product the actual wine in the bottle. The brand will tell a story of celebration, renewal, rejuvenation, new life and transformation.
CRITERIA:
The proverb, quote, saying will appear on the back of the wine label.
1. The proverb, quote, saying must be able to encourage a positive, light hearted, joyous, celebratory conversation around a dinner table or a meal.
2. The words RAIN and WINE must appear in the proverb, quote or saying. Both words or one of the words will suffice in the sentence.
3. A reference, acknowledgement or source must accompany the proverb, saying, quote.
4. A maximum of twenty words (20 words) for the entire proverb, quote, saying.
5. The proverb, quote, saying must be in English. It can be translated from any other language.
This picture serves strictly as an example only. The green arrow is the back label, where the proverb or quote or saying will appear.
