April 16th, 2014 by Andre Nehme
Engraved wine bottles are an awesome gift! That may sound a bit boastful coming from someone who engraves wine bottles for a living, but having spent the weekend dusting our showroom I was reminded of how many really cool projects we’ve worked on over the years.
One of the most impressive bottle designs we’ve engraved comes from our Signature Wine Bottle Line. As shown here the bottle included a grape design, the recipient’s name, the date, and over 40 signatures. Each name was de [...]Read More

What’s the difference between a Decanter and a Carafe?
March 27th, 2014 by Andre Nehme
Every time we get a new decanter or carafe in, our office turns into a mini battlefield. We usually all agree on whether or not the piece fits our standards, good quality, good clarity of glass or crystal and of course room to engrave. However the fight begins when we try to decide whether or not it should be called a decanter or a carafe.
For two very similar pieces one supplier will list it as a decanter and the other as a carafe. And so it begins....list the piece as described by [...]Read More

Engraved 3 Liter Bottle of Wine – One of My Favorites
February 26th, 2014 by Andre Nehme
I was looking through some pictures this morning and ran across a picture of a wine bottle we did a few years back. This wine bottle was produced for a local organization to raffle off for a fundraiser.
Although it is hard to tell from the picture I remember that this was a 3 liter bottle of wine and the engraving wrapped completely around the bottle. The amount of detail that went into this project was quite amazing.
First the artwork was designed, then it was deep engraved into the w [...]Read More

What’s Your Gift-Giving Style?
August 12th, 2013 by Peg
Having been on vacation for the past two weeks I have had time to reflect about a number of things. Of course one was about gift giving.
The tradition of giving gifts can be traced back as far as the early Romans. The ancient Roman festival Saturnalia, held in honor of the diety Saturn, included gift-giving as a central part of the celebration. For the purposes of this celebration, the gifts were simple tokens rather than expensive, elaborate bestowals, and interestingly, it was common practi [...]Read More
