The Urban Winery recently introduced its newest creation, the VIDALPA series, with a white wine IPA that's packaged like beer in canned multi-packs. To showcase the uniqueness of the product—a Maryland white wine that's aged with hops—The Urban Winery worked with Octavo Designs on a fun design to show off the hybrid qualities of the alcoholic product. The bright, fresh and green wine can design integrates an illustration of a bunch of grapes mixed with hops, a detail that has the potential to pique the interests of wine enthusiasts and beer fans alike.
As part of the VIDALPA series, the Hop’d Wine is the first product to be released, with more to come.
A growing number of hybrid beer and wine products are being released, playing off of the sophistication of wine and the approachability of beer.
