Picking a bottle of wine can be like browsing a bookstore for a new novel--first impressions count; if these examples of fashionable liquor were books, they would all be best sellers based solely on their 'covers.' With chic illustrations and tasteful typography, some people might be loathe to crack them open since they would make such great decor pieces as well.
From exotic oriental influences to animal prints and, of course, minimalist designs in general, these examples of fashionable liquor are great options not only for personal collections, but as gifts to friends, family and acquaintances. Designers and alcohol companies are becoming more aware of the power of looks, making sure that their branding and labeling is on par with the quality of liquor being sold.
