the brief
Create a wine brand that leads the industry in sustainability, utilizing the name ‘Wise Wolf’ which the business already owned.
The Challenge
Creating meaning for the name Wise Wolf. There was an inherent cue to nature and the environment, but we needed to articulate a clear and succinct purpose and reason for being.
Balancing disruptive sustainability with consumer trust. This brand would need to engage a consumer who wasn’t necessarily highly engaged in wine. Sustainability could not present a compromise in the sophistication and credibility of the quality of the wine.
Delivering genuine sustainability leadership and innovation through packaging with existing packaging suppliers.
STRATEGIC APPROACH
Through a thorough and collaborative immersion, we clarified not only the ambitions but also a thorough understanding of the business context influencing the project;
- How this brief fed into the broader business context and ESG initiatives.
- The procurement process, requirements, existing suppliers and opportunities for new packaging partnerships.
- The competitor and category context, including learnings from key retail customers and success stories from analogous categories.
- A thorough consumer understanding including the primary drivers and key barriers to their sustainability behavior and wine purchasing.
packaging solution
We looked at every single component of the packaging, supply chain and end-of-life waste management to provide a solution that is truly revolutionary for the industry.
the closure
Incorporating a cutting-edge sustainable closure solution from Guala. We worked closely with our client's key customer and Guala to develop a bespoke closure solution that not only features recycled aluminum but also avoids any ‘watch-list’ chemicals.
the label
We used a 100% recycled pulp, white, uncoated matte wood-free printing paper. By avoiding virgin materials and wood fibers, this solution not only reduces waste but also educes the amount of water required in production.
the bottle
100% post-consumer waste glass and 100% recyclable. Did you know that most suppliers of recycled glass use post-industrial waste as opposed to post-consumer waste? By ensuring the use of post-consumer waste, Wise Wolf is capturing glass waste that might otherwise have ended up in roads or worse still in landfill.
0.0%
recycled content throughout the entire package.
0%
recyclable, including our cartons which are made of 100% recycled paper pulp.
0%
reduction in energy requirements (compared to a standard 750ml glass bottle).
client testimonial
“Denomination has an uncompromising dedication to sustainability and a passion for beautiful designs, so were the perfect choice for Wise Wolf. They constantly challenged us to maximize the amount of recycled content, without ever compromising on the design, and their vast knowledge and strong contracts with suppliers was invaluable. What they have helped create demonstrates that we can use the maximum amount of recycled material and deliver a quality range of wine to consumers.”
