Glass and Wine

I’m catching up on viewing new videos.  This video by Penfolds really caught my attention.

The Penfolds Ampoule Project is the ultimate reflection of winemaking heritage, innovation and artistic collaboration delivering a ground-breaking work of art encapsulating a rare and significant wine, 2004 Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon.  The Ampoule is a beautiful hand blown scientific grade glass sculpture that acts as a unique vessel.  The actual glass sculpture is encased within a handcrafted bespoke jarrah cabinet.  Every touch-point of the ampoule is a work of art.

The Making of the Penfolds Ampoule from Penfolds on Vimeo.

I wish more companies would embrace using the “art” of glass sculpture as a means of storing and selling their product.
