Chiin

Though Chinese plum wine has been made in homes for centuries in its country of origin, it is virtually unknown in the United States where Chiin is primarily sold. High-end plum wine is even harder to find in the U.S., and Chiin seeks to fill that market. Targeted towards affluent buyers ages 30–50, the brand seeks to foster friendship and community, as the name itself means “a very good friend.”

In an attempt to bring this Asian wine to Western markets, I blended elements from the two cultures in the bottle design. I intertwined Chinese characters for the flavors into patterns that can be seen on the reverse side of the back label through the wine itself. The logo is a simple crest with the Chiin “C” in the center and used the stately serif Caslon and friendly sans Brandon Grotesque to convey both the elegance and approachability of this brand. I chose foil in different colors to differentiate the flavors and contribute to the premium feel of the brand. The bottle itself was chosen over a typical wine bottle for its wide mouth to allow easy access to the plums inside.
