Today marked the grand second attempt at making a batch of ginger beer with a friend of mine. Sadly the first batch, although refreshing, bore about as much taste-bud-resemblance to ginger as a burnt piece of toast does to fruit salad. This time we went for a completely different recipe but as ginger beer goes, only time will tell.
I figure that perhaps our first batch would have tasted better if I were allowed to make some fancy looking labels to enhance the beverage-consumption-experience. Nothing says ‘buy me, I’m delightful, not that lame other bottle of stuff resembling poo’ like some shmick-o labels and packaging.
Yes, I am one of those people who will select a wine based on the label and sometimes even hold it close to my face in a little snuggle. (What? You don’t do that? Sheesh!)
Infact, the only time when I’ve considered that pretty packaging didn’t have bearing on the quality and fabulousness of the product in question was the other day when I was at the supermarket pondering an assortment of 'nibbily' options. I tried to convince my comrade that the dips with the boring labels must be good because it reflects focus on the creating a solid product rather than exorbitant amounts spent on the packaging to sell an inferior savoury biscuit accompaniment.
Am I the world’s most contradictory person?
Our friends at thedieline.com showcase some stellar work and just like a well-designed wine label, I find myself wanting to hug most of this stuff through the screen of my laptop.
You think I’m weird? Stop staring at me and look at the pretty stuff!

So tell me would a well-dressed, Sunday-best bottle of yumminess win your favour?
