We got an email today from LA-based designer Dave Bravenec, tipping us off about his latest project – the design for the Mod wines by Grateful Palate Imports.

As you can see, the bottles (and see over the page for cartons)  produced for the Australian wine company feature a stylised, almost psychedelic image of a mirrored-up scooter, with the slogan 'I don't want to drink any other wine, that's why I'm a Mod!' on the rear.

In the first instance, the wines will be distributed on bottles of both red and white, with varations of the design heading to various other vintages over the coming months. We think it's Australia and the US-only right now, but it will eventually hit the UK. if it makes it to Tesco's 3 for £10, we'll be buying it by the box load. See over the page for the carton designs and the promotional poster image.

With its bright and cheerful decoration, it's easy to see how BodaNova's Smile range of glassware got its name. The glasses are simply  shaped and given a retro look by the organic looking forms of the pattern. In reality, they are a contemporary design from Barbro Wesslander for the Swedish company. 

The set of glasses and the carafe are sold separately, each costing £19.80, and are packaged in a matching gift box to make them a perfect summer's gift.

Although its motif claims temperance, it's hardly going to be encouraged by this tattoo inspired hip flask. It's been decorated using a traditional swallow design, hand painted onto pink suede, making it a very stylish way to carry 2oz of your favourite tipple around with you.  

There is also a similarly retro design featuring a mermaid for sale. The flask costs $30.
