it seems that the artist found it better to paint reality than a bunch of tricks to make alcohol more appealing that was what the company wanted. Big surprise for the companyâ;¦
check the paintings could you imagine a wine label with those paintingsâ;¦ it's just too cool
for me it's a good one by the artist

So you think anybody who uses wine is in that category. Are you thinking of bringing back prohibition? That worked so well.
Most people use wine with responsibility. The small percentage of people who fail should not impact those who only have a glass of wine with their meal or one before going to bed.

that's actually an insightful comment, as you can check by reading Paula Rego wiki linked in the article. But I figure she might just be projecting...

I get the same feeling from her images as I did from NY "photog" Diane Arbus's images. Arbus committed suicide after her first big exhibit.
Don't like either of their pictures, personally...

Gosh I just can't fiure out why the wine company wouldn't want labels showing the affect of the product they are selling. LOL
I mean all the pictures show a real picture of what the wine can cause.

Did the winery look at her work before hiring her? If they did they were stupid. Like here getting Rosie to do the national anthem at a ball game or hiring Imus as a speaker. In all three cases the result could be foreseen.

It's honest! I love it! It could fetch a lot more as a collector's item than the wine is worth. Why not use the idea to teach responsibility, run it for a year, then watch the value skyrocket!
Gosh, I think too much like an American.

this story demonstrates the difference between an Artist and an illustrator.
the wine company should have stuck to a good illustrator associated with a proper branding & marketing company, if they wish to increase their wine sales.
