Vintage advertisement posters are much sought after, and have been
recognized for their artistic merit as well giving us a chance to look
at days gone by. There have even been dedicated exhibitions of such
posters in art museums. I like these nostalgic images and will post a
few grouped per theme. Today's theme is champagne (hardly surprising given the time of year). The image above is
created via Photofunia and is free from copyright issues.
Champagne Ruinart
Starting with a bit of Art Nouveau.
La Champagne
A variation on the theme - a poster advertising for the region rather than one of the brands of champagne.
Contratto
Contratto is an Italian alcoholic beverage company which produces sparkling wine - which of course technically can not be called champagne.
Champagne de Venoge
One of many real champagne producers that still exists today. A personal favourite of mine - the poster, that is.
Champagne Duval-Leroy
Another producer that is still going strong. I like the festive atmosphere in this poster.
Rovellats Gran Cava
Here we have the Spanish variation, a sparkling wine called Gran Cava. Actually, we prefer the SPanish sparkling wines, because of the far superior quality/price ratio.
Kloster Gold Sekt
Sekt is the German variation on Champagne. A nice Art Deco poster.
Champagne Joseph Perrier
Back to the "real thing", from the region of Champagne itself. Nice idea to use the grapes as a dress.
Taittinger Champagne
Perhaps the most famous of these posters, and for a top brand. Elegant and original.
Champagne Veuve A. Devaux
This one is also pretty famous, albeit in the green background version. Personally I like the blue one better.
Liebart-Regnier Champagne
Closing this post with a personal favourite - with a wonderful twist by using the metal top of the bottle as a hat.
Cheers!
