Wine bottles come in several glass colors. The traditional Bordeaux bottle is dark green; the Burgundy bottle is slightly lighter green; the Champagne bottle is darker green still; the Provençal rosé bottle is clear. The glass color is rarely a customer-driven decision; the wine type traditionally dictates the bottle. Modern custom-label programs treat the glass color as a design decision.
Why glass matters
The glass color is the visual context for the label. A cream label with antique gold foil reads differently on dark green glass (warm, heirloom, traditional) than on clear glass (modern, fresh, contemporary). The customer choosing the bottle is choosing the entire object, not just the label artwork. The glass is the silent partner.
Our standard glass
For the Moonlight Select red we use a dark green Bordeaux-style bottle. The dark green plus antique gold foil reads as serious estate wine. For the Countryside Select white we use a slightly lighter green Burgundy-style bottle. The lighter glass plus our standard label reads as appropriate for white wine without crossing into the bright modern register of clear glass.
Clear glass requests
Some customers request clear glass for the white wine, typically for rose programs or for outdoor summer event programs. Clear glass works for these contexts but requires a slightly different label treatment, lighter foil, brighter cream, less ornament. The studio's preview switches to the clear-glass render automatically if the customer selects this option, so the customer can see the difference before approving.
