VERA WANG In case you thought Vera Wang dabbled mostly in bridal pursuits, reconsider how much she loves a good fête all around. This paramount fashion designer rejiggered the bridal industry in the 1990s; now, perhaps, she’ll redefine the world of bubbles. A promoter of art de vivre and big celebration, Vera Wang brings us Vera Wang Party, produced in collaboration with Piemonte-based wine producer Araldica and led by winemaker Claudio Manera. Applying her notable attention to detail, Vera Wang has steered Party every step of the way, from the grapes to the festive, matte silver bottle, sure to make a statement on every table. The personal invitation from Wang to celebrate life on the bottle’s back side only makes drinking it more entertaining. With devil-may-care spirit, Vera Wang’s Party suggests how to live our lives with bubbly in hand. “Why a Prosecco,” she asks? “When I think of romance, fun, laughter, joy, friendship, I think of Prosecco. It is the wine that personifies emotion and sheer happiness.” verawangparty.com

So, why wouldn’t we expect them to parlay their aesthetic wisdom and fantasy into what we imbibe? Here’s to these clever creators and their tasty alliances in the wine and spirits world!
