A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine', according to a 19th century wine connoisseur. With Christmas just around the corner, it's time to top up your wine cellar with the perfect plonk.

Spending time complementing your celebratory meal with the right wine is like matching your well planned marketing campaign with the right graphic design.

Just as your branding gives a flavour of your product, the front label on a bottle is the most important clue to how a wine is likely to taste. An eye-catching label design can only help to get the product noticed and secure sales. With thousands of brands competing this Christmas, it's never been more important to choose the right designer.

Saint George's Day was celebrated last month. Legend tells of George slaying a dragon and rescuing an innocent maiden from death, but the reality paints a rather different picture. Born in Turkey to Christian parents he became a Roman soldier, and was ultimately imprisoned, tortured and beheaded for staying true to his faith. Since then he has been popularly identified with ideals of charity, chivalry and courage - brand values which are the very essence of 'Englishness'. Today's brands can inspire loyalty beyond logic. They are more than just logos; they represent a company's image and reputation. Download the brand savvy pdf to test your brand awareness! download issue>
