Comments: This permanent display was made to emphasize the quality of wine, while efficiently utilizing floor space to merchandise three cases of product. Twisted wire was used to create a vine effect, while a black wrinkle finish with soft colors accented the leaves and grapes.

Comments: Since champagne supply cannot meet the demand in this Millennium year, the client wanted to increase brand awareness and build brand equity that would last into the new Millennium. This unit was in full distribution by the first quarter and has continued to hold floor space in most accounts into the third quarter.

Comments: A unique wine cart design was achieved by combining wood with a canvas awning and a vacuum-formed platform. Eight different Ruffino products were able to be merchandised in a relatively small area.
