Surprising insights
Going deeper into the world of art and at the same time into that of wine provides a surprising view of themes that connect both worlds.
For example, Dionysos the wine god in the Ancient Greek world – or the Roman wine god Bacchus – has been brought to life on canvas or in stone by countless artists over the centuries. Wine flows freely in the ‘merry companies’ of Dutch 17th-century painting.
Wineries are building art collections and opening them to the public. Internationally renowned artists are being commissioned to design bottle labels for new wines to be introduced on the market.
