The bottle cap embellishes the entire design with exquisite Chinese window flower patterns, which makes the whole design owns more rhythm and specificity. Taking inspiration from the Chinese lantern culture, which means prosperity and celebration, and starting from the unique creativity of the brand, designers create a "classic" wine that walks with the time and space.
- Research

Designers finally leveraged the auspicious culture of Chinese lanterns to create a wine with new oriental aesthetics, which broke the inherent perception of consumers and became an existence value that cannot be ignored in the market, also a time and space aesthetic travel.
- Inspiration
- Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions had introduced wine into China, also witnessed the prosperous period of China and integrated into Chinese civilization. People inherently recognize that wine is a symbol of the West, and this recognition gives wine a sense of distance from the East. We reshape wine in the way of Chinese fashion, and create an oriental era of wine with cultural confidence and continuous innovation.
