Val de Grace Publishing announced their newest book release, "99 Bottles of Wine: The Making of a Contemporary Wine Label." This gift-worthy coffee table book offers wine lovers, serious wine collectors and design aficionados a rare behind-the-scenes look at how creative packaging and innovative design drive some of today's most successful wine brands.
With stunning photography and vivid narratives, the book takes readers on a journey through the creative process inspired by each of the wines. Authored by David Schuemann, owner and creative director at CF Napa Brand Design, a leader in the wine packaging and design industry for over 35 years, "99 Bottles of Wine" tells the story of how each wine brand and its package were developed and created for the contemporary wine consumer.
"In the last fifty years, the wine industry has undergone a radical change and now more than ever, the packaging and label are as important as the quality of wine," said Schuemann. "We've shared each winery's fascinating story along with our years of insight and experience on the design process to distill essentials to a wine's success. "99 Bottles of Wine" will be a coffee table classic for wine and design lovers and a welcomed gift," said Schuemann.
"99 Bottles of Wine" features well-known wineries including Beringer, Duckhorn, Fetzer, Gloria Ferrer, Joseph Phelps, Quint do Noval, Redtree, and Santa Margherita along with up and coming brands such as Entwine, Aiken, Educated Guess, Kesner, John Anthony, Luna Nuda, and Monogamy

Proprietor of Napa Valley's Quintessa Estate, Agustin has developed premium and luxury wine projects around the world including Quintessa, Franciscan, Estancia, Faust, Magnificat, Neyen, Veramonte, Primus, Casillero del Diablo, and more.

for their readers. "99 Bottles of Wine" does both," says Paul Chutkow, the founder and president of Val de Grace Books. "This is a book to savor and cherish for many years to come."
