Homebrew Wine Labels

These labels were made for homebrew wines, ciders, and meads made as a hobby with my partner. We have 2 house brands – Chateau Sainte Cecelia for “my” brews and Casa di Giatti for “his,” but in reality both of us work together to make every bottle. The labels are a matter of practicality, to tell apart different batches, but they also stretch my creative muscles. I’m selecting some of my favorites to highlight here.
