Conference to bring out the big guns
19 July, 2010The YGOW have always been serious about wine and this year we take it to the next level and get a little more serious about the business side of the industry at our day of High Calibre Marketing.
"Given that a large part of the Young Guns ethos is about connecting wine to new audiences and identifying trends of wine, it makes sense that we produce a marketing and communication conference," says Young Gun founder Rory Kent, "uniquely, this conference will be an opportunity for wine professionals to get ideas and thinking from other fields such as fashion and music."With talks on consumerism, trends and the influence of design from industry leaders in research, media, fashion, design and music, this conference is sure to stimulate ideas and promote conversation and evolution.
See the High Calibre Marketing event page for further information.
Gun new trophy
19 July, 2010Our new trophy design by award-winning, Collingwood-based industrial design studio Charlwood Design is indicative of the ongoing support and strong relationships v-know has developed since the inception of the Young Gun of Wine Awards in 2007. Back then, Charlwood Design's director, Paul Charlwood, was involved in v-know's first "Wine of Design" project and over time a mutual respect for each others work ethic has seen the dialogue evolve. "We are delighted to be a partner with this year's Young Guns of Wine Awards. Our talented team and in-house rapid prototyping facilities enables us complete control of the design from concept to creation, without compromise," explains Paul Charlwood, "we're very proud to have delivered a striking trophy." This year's trophy is a fresh evolution of our original trophy - a gold plated pistol - and has seen Charlwood create a solid metal barrel of a gun merging into a wine bottle that's a statement of versatility and strength, and a testament to Charlwood Design's creativity.
