“The goal of the new package is to appeal to new consumers, while maintaining our current fan base,” said Cary Kloster, marketing director for Red Diamond. “The new look incorporates attention-grabbing design elements to support our presence on-shelf, which will lead to greater consumer awareness and ultimately, trial.”

“The new label design takes signature elements that consumers have grown to know from Red Diamond, such as its red and black motif and signature diamond emblem, and modernizes them to help recapture the brand’s disruptive spirit,” continued Kloster. “Through our new identity, we hope to provide a fun way for consumers to explore new corners of the world through wine.”

“While the look of the Red Diamond package has changed, the luscious and fruit-forward characteristics of Red Diamond wines that make them approachable, easy to drink, and the ultimate food companion will remain the same,” added Kloster.

From the novice wine explorer to the most discriminating of tastes, Red Diamond wines offer an adventurous yet affordable wine experience every time. The Red Diamond portfolio includes: Merlot (Washington), Cabernet Sauvignon (California), Shiraz (Washington), Chardonnay (Washington), Pinot Noir (California), Malbec (Argentina) and Temperamental Red Blend (Spain). All wines are available nationally for a suggested retail price of $10 per bottle.

Red Diamond New Packaging Highlights:

• The updated background pattern is designed to be edgy and eye-catching, while maintaining the brand’s signature red and black color palate.
• A new iconic diamond shape logo was designed with red foil to standout on shelf.
• The logo lock-up features a new font to elevate the brand’s personality.
• The red wines will be encapsulated in black foil to add sophistication.
• A color bar along the bottom of the bottle, along with the varietal text color, changes by varietal to help the consumer distinguish between each varietal in the portfolio.
