Most wine labels are forgettable. A crest, a château, a vineyard name in serif font. You open the bottle and put the label face-down on the table without thinking about it again.
Vinum Mirabile was designed to be the opposite of that.
The idea
Vinum Mirabile means "wonderful wine" in Latin. But the concept behind it is simpler than the name: what if the label was a reason to stop and look, before you even poured?
Each bottle in the range carries a reproduction of one of the world's most recognised paintings — works that have been studied, copied, argued over, and loved for centuries. Van Gogh's Almond Blossoms and Sunflowers. Rembrandt's The Night Watch. Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring.
Not vague artistic inspiration. The paintings themselves, on the bottle.
Why it works
Wine and art share something that most products don't: they both reward attention. A glass of Prosecco that you drink while scrolling is not the same glass you drink while actually paying attention to it. A painting you pass every day in a corridor is not the same painting you sit down in front of in a gallery.
Vinum Mirabile was created for people who appreciate both — or who appreciate one and are curious about the other. The bottle is a way in. You reach for it because of the painting. You stay for the wine.
The paintings, and why these four
Almond Blossoms (Van Gogh, 1890) — painted as a gift for his newborn nephew Willem. Branches in bloom against a clear blue sky, full of tenderness and quiet hope. Van Gogh rarely painted with this kind of peace. It's one of his most personal works, and one of his most beautiful.
Sunflowers (Van Gogh, 1888) — part of the series Van Gogh made in Arles to decorate a room for a visiting friend. Warm, open, generous. The painting that has been reproduced more times than almost any other — and somehow still stops you when you see the original.
The Night Watch (Rembrandt, 1642) — the most dramatic painting in the Rijksmuseum. A company of guards caught mid-movement, light and shadow in motion, more alive than it has any right to be on a flat canvas. It asks you to look longer than you planned.
Girl with a Pearl Earring (Vermeer, c. 1665) — sometimes called the Mona Lisa of the North. A glance over the shoulder. A question that the painting never answers. One of those images that stays with you longer than the moment you spent looking at it.
What's in the bottle
Each Vinum Mirabile wine is a Prosecco — Glera grapes from the Veneto, non-vintage, fresh and floral, best served cold and soon. The wine is the point. So is the bottle. They don't compete with each other. They complete each other.
If you're looking for a gift that isn't just wine, or wine that isn't just a bottle, this is it. All four are in our shop — individually, or as something to collect one by one.
