Stina wins Gold at the European Design Awards.

Stina wine won gold at the European Design Awards in Helsinki, marking the seventh award for this Brač-based brand.

The Brač wine Stina recently won gold at the European Design Awards competition in Helsinki. This is already the seventh award for this unique Croatian wine brand, despite having only recently entered the market. In addition to the recognition for the best wine packaging in Europe, Stina was also awarded bronze just a month ago at the prestigious Art Directors Club global competition.

Additionally, Stina’s Pošip was rated the third best white wine by The Wine Gang at the recently held London International Wine Fair, sparking the interest of British distributors, and the wine is already present on the German market. Stina also holds the title for the best packaging of a Croatian product/series – wine, at this year’s Cropack, as well as the awards for Most Inspiring Idea and Best Art Direction at this year’s IdejaX.

Fifty percent of the visitors at the wine fair in London stopped at our stand, intrigued by the wine label, says Ivica Kovačević from the winery Jako Vino. After tasting the wine, it ended up being rated as the third best white wine at the fair. Stina is a joint project of the agencies Brandoctor and Bruketa&Žinić OM.

European Design Awards are annual awards that, as the name suggests, recognize projects in graphic design, illustration, and multimedia design across Europe. The award is based on the collaboration of 14 prestigious professional magazines, whose representatives form the jury. These magazines are: 2+3D (Poland), Design Austria, Design Week (United Kingdom), +design (Greece), Elephant (international), étapes: (France), Grafik Tasarim (Turkey), idpure (Switzerland), KAK (Russia), Novum (Germany), Progetto Grafico (Italy), TYPO (Czech Republic), Visual (Spain), and BNO Vormberichten (Netherlands).

This is the fifth time that the agency Bruketa&Žinić OM has won an award at the European Design Awards, but the first time with gold. Until now, they have been awarded three bronzes and one silver.
