[Cornish Mead Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornish-bakery-menu) takes wine into a whole new territory with their [rebranding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anteel-tequila). It's been 50 years since their wine bottles have undergone a makeover and they've decided to go at it with a bang.

Inspired by tattoos, these Cornish Mead Company designs bring edginess to what has otherwise always been a refined pastime. As though bridging the gap between [beer/whiskey and wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisky-designs), Cornish hopes to emphasize wine's strength and character rather than its traditional refined image.
