Hand Engraved Bottles for Father’s Day at Fort Gordon Exchange

By

Hand engraved bottles of liquor and fragrance were the hit of the week at the Fort Gordon Post Exchange in Augusta, GA. We engraved over 250 bottles in 4 hours for military families in Georgia.

We were invited to engrave for Father’s Day a few weeks prior to the event by the Fort Gordon Exchange management. When we arrived on base, there was already a long line due to the advertising of our hand engraving service both online and offline. We primarily engraved Hennessy cognac bottles and Lancome fragrances but we also engraved other bottles people bought in the store.

We were busy the entire time we were there and engraved one bottle every minute! There was a lot of creativity flowing as guests had us engrave funny phrases like “Do Not Open” or “Open in an Emergency.” They loved that we could engrave the bottles with whatever they came up with. Our hand engraved bottles were something they had never seen before.

We loved serving our military men and women knowing we were helping them make their gift giving a little easier and a lot more unique. Customers loved the interaction, especially being able to watch the engraving done in front of them. We didn’t make one mistake the entire time and we were the fastest engraver they had ever seen engraving one bottle per minute.

The Hennessy and Lancome representatives were so impressed with our liquor and fragrance bottle engraving, they’ve already booked us to come back to Fort Gordon Post Exchange for the holidays. We will always be happy to oblige! We loved the experience as much as they loved having us.

Desiree and Joe enjoyed meeting everyone at the event and are already looking forward to working with the planners again later in the year.

Wine Bottle Engraving Events at Kroger for Penfolds

By

Wine bottle engraving events, sponsored by Penfolds Wine, were timed perfectly right before the holidays. The wine bottle engraving events at Kroger stores in Atlanta gave customers a chance to personalize last minute hostess gifts for both corporate and personal parties.

Penfolds Wine sponsored the events at the Disco Kroger in Atlanta and also other locations around the Buckhead and north suburbs. We hand engraved wine bottles with a high speed drill right after customers made their purchase. Our engraving is much faster than any machine, about one minute per bottle compared to a machine’s five minutes per bottle. Plus, customers love the hand engraved element versus just a font from a machine. We were also able to embellish the bottles with pictures of holly and flowers.

You can watch our master wine engraver, Desiree Colonna, in action below. Desiree is known as one of the Fastest Engravers in the South!


Kroger customers were so excited by the activation, one customer unexpectedly bought over 20 bottles when she saw how beautiful and unique the engraved calligraphy was on each wine bottle.


After each bottle was engraved, the engraving was filled by Desiree’s assistant, Joe, with silver or gold colored wax which makes the engraving really stand out on each wine bottle.


The wine bottle engraving events were something new for Kroger stores in Atlanta. The wine bottle engraving enabled Penfolds to sell almost double the amount of wine the night of the events. There will be more wine bottle engraving events at Kroger for Penfolds and other brands in the future due to the popularity of the event. Please check our calendar page to see where we will be engraving next.

If you are interested in having us engrave at your next event, personal or corporate, please contact us at 833 465 9311. We’d love to meet you and your guests!

Hand Engraved Wine Bottles for Triumph Motorcycles USA Dealers

By

Hand engraved wine bottles were the gift of choice when Triumph Motorcycles® USA decided to announce winners of their Dealer of the Year Patagonia adventure trip contest in a very unique way. Inkwell Designers were there to help make this idea come to life very quickly. We had less than two weeks to pull it all together.

hand engraved wine bottles

Emily from Triumph Motorcycles USA headquarters found Inkwell Designers℠ online and called about getting 12 bottles of Argentinian Malbec wine engraved with the Triumph logo. She asked us to find the bottles, engrave them and deliver them to her office. We took on the challenge immediately.

What Emily didn’t know is our CEO, Desiree Colonna, is an avid Triumph motorcycle rider and owns a 2012 Triumph Bonneville which she rides are her primary bike. What a thrill to work with the company that had given her the beautiful bike she loves to ride around Atlanta!

Emily wanted the logo engraved into the bottles. We can take you through the steps we took to make that happen.

We first printed the logo and mountain scheme on architect paper which has a sticky back to it.

Then we actually stuck these where they needed to be placed on the wine bottles and used a stippling motion to engrave over them. The logo and mountains are made of hundreds of hand stippled dots. This is very different from etching or sandblasting where you need a special toxic cream or machine to do the work. These wine bottles are all engraved by hand with great care.

Once we finished the stippling, we added the hand engraved calligraphy. All of this was created with a dental drill handpiece. This is the final result.

We also had our calligraphy artist, Meg Mitchell, create thank you notes by hand for each dealer which were included with the hand engraved wine bottles.

The hand engraved wine bottles were a huge hit around the office when we delivered them in person. We were treated to a tour of all the fun motorcycles in the office which was a highlight for Desiree and her husband, Joe.

There was even a very cool wall of Triumph history with various iterations of their logo and bikes throughout the years.

Desiree’s favorite bike was the custom bike with the wooden seat created for a movie.

We took this project from idea to reality and made the process so easy for Emily at Triumph. We found the bottles, picked them up, engraved them and then delivered them. All she had to do was make the call!

Our hand engraved wine bottles are the perfect gift for any occasion, both corporate and personal. If you’re interested in learning more about our process, please contact us directly at 833 465 9311 or shoot us an email. We’d love to work with you!

Wine Bottle Engraver a Big Hit at Whole Foods in Atlanta

By

wine bottle engraver

When our wine bottle engraver showed up to engrave wine bottles for FREE at Whole Foods in Buckhead and Ponce the week of Valentine’s day, customers were introduced to a new type of artwork done right in front of them called wine bottle engraving. Our wine bottle engraver takes a dental drill and engraves any message right in front of the customer. The set up is similar to the picture above. All our wine bottle engraver needs is a chair, a table and an electrical outlet.

People were so impressed by the fact the wine bottle engraving was free, they bought multiple bottles for several friends and family members. That’s what it’s all about, selling more wine. One lady drove two hours and bought 20 bottles for her daughter’s wedding!

One young man had his wine bottle engraved, brought it home and his girlfriend dropped it. They came back an hour later for another bottle because she loved it so much. Whole Foods managers were so impressed they hired Inkwell Designers to engrave wine bottles for Mother’s Day. (More about our on-site event engraving and FREE wine bottle engraving schedule can be found here.)
