Chateau De You; Apan Premium Wine Available with Personalized Labels; Premium Wine with a Personal Touch.


NAPA, Calif. -- Apan Wine Company has introduced a very 21st century gift idea for the holidays -- premium wine with custom-designed labels. Wine labels can be created to commemorate any occasion or add a highly personal touch to holiday gift giving.

 with their own message. Several templates and samples are available, including special holiday designs. The slightly more computer savvy can upload their own graphics or designs. The Apan Wine design team will also create a custom label for customers based on their directions.

Richard Zimmerman of First Financial Group has tried many gift ideas over the years for his clients and friends. "I've spent a fortune on gift baskets and fine crystal vases that nobody ever remembered I gave them. But the custom-labeled wine was a huge hit at a fraction of the cost. What's really impressive is the wine. It's premium quality. My customers know and appreciate fine wine."

Besides the holidays, custom-labeled wines make unique personalized gifts for weddings, anniversaries, or reunions. Many businesses order custom-labeled wine for their employees or clients. Custom-labeled wine is also a popular promotional tool for nonprofits and at fund-raising auctions.
