Looking to take advantage of rapid growth in the moscato category, Taylors Wines has rolled out a new-look for its Promised Land Moscato.

The total moscato category has experienced rapid growth recently and is now valued at more than $40 million in Australia. The $10 to $14 price segment for moscato – where the Promised Land Moscato is positioned – is still growing at more than 49 per cent year on year, according to data from Nielsen.

Taylors Wines managing director Mitchell Taylor said he was thrilled with the revamped design.

“We saw this category as a growth area for Taylors, so decided to reinvigorate our moscato in time for the warmer weather, with a sophisticated yet fun look, which is going to appeal to moscato drinkers and stand out on the crowded shelf space,” Taylor said.

The award-winning partnership of Taylors and Sydney-based design agency The Collective came together once again to create an innovative design that utilises ‘applied ceramic labelling’ on the moscato bottle.

In keeping with its Promised Land range, Taylors has implemented a vanity barcode on its moscato, which sees the seahorse incorporated into a 100 per cent GS1-compliant barcode. Promised Land wines have a RRP of $13.95.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
