British graphic designer Matt Davey created simple, chic and playful bottles for Archer & Vine’s food specific wines. The line consists of four British wines (two reds, a white and a rosé).
The food-specific wines all have snappy names like "The Battered Fish," a rosé blended to complement a meal of fish and chips; "The Laying Hen" is a white wine made from Savognin grapes to accompany a delicious roast chicken, while "The Sizzling Toad" is a zinfandel specifically made for Toad in the Hole (sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter served with gravy). Even cottage and shepherd's pie get a wine pairing with "The Lost Sheep," a blended red wine.
