Tanzanian Wine Labels

Labels for a selection of new wines from a country that does not normally produce wine. Each wine is named after a specific Tanzanian tribe, the illustrations showing their tribal dances. Descriptions on the back of each wine describe not only the wine inside, but also the characteristics of the dance. Each is produced using authentic batik techniques.

African Wine Bible

“A vinous voyage across the length and breadth of Africa, a continent more renowned for its famine, drought and deserts. This book reveals that the desire by man to grow vines and produce wine is far greater than environmental constraints. Wine writer John Platter and his wife Erica travel around this vast continent, exploring countries as diverse as Egypt and Ethiopia, Morocco and Mauritius, Algeria and East Africa, tasting their way through an eclectic array of viteous offerings. Engagingly written and hilarious in places, the Platters describe their safari in detail, drawing in the reader and making them feel a part of their great adventure. A must for all wine lovers and travel enthusiasts.”
