What comparison is there between uniWines Vineyards and the alphabet? Ferdinand Appel, Manager of uniWines took the guests at uniWines yearend function, on an exploration trip from A to Z.
A – The A-Team with BA, Murdock and the rest came to mind first, but if one look around to the people sitting next to you, your colleagues and yourself, this is the uniWines A-Team now.
B – represents “Bottles and Branding”. With almost 1300 tons of bottles (glass), uniWines packed his wine and send it all over the globe.
C – stands for “Class”, because when uniWines do something, they do it with “class”, just look at all the new labels and trophies.
F – stands for Family, during 2011 two of our colleagues became parents for the first time. The latest one was born, Monday 5 December. The “family” of uniWines is growing!!
I – stands for Innovation. Imagine a “valley just a little left of centre” with a brand called: ankerman, with a tug of war team on the label – this is innovation and this is one of uniWines newest brands.
J – stands for Jobs (meaning Steve Jobs). He was a man with vision, someone that uniWines learned a lot from this year. He said: Life is to short, so don’t waste it; while living someone else’s life!!!
M – stands for Moscato, if you haven’t tried it yet, you are for sure poorer.
O – meaning One. One is to small a number to achieve greatness. uniWines are a team and there are no ‘i’ in team.
Q – meaning Quit (never). This word is not part of our vocabulary, if the going gets tuff the tuff “DOES NOT” get going.
U – stands for uniWines. In this year our corporate branding under went a change in look and feel. We were proud to incorporate the crest of Sir William Rawson (founder of Rawsonville) into our new look.
W – meaning Winners. Our winemaking team made us proud this year with all the trophies they brought back home from the Young wine competition.
X – meaning X-factor. Earlier this year Emmanuel Kelly took part in X Factor – Australia. Emmanuel told his story were he and his brother were found as babies in a shoebox by a nurse, today his mom, during the war in Iraq. After listing to his story you start feeling sorry for the guy, then he sang Imagine and the tears just ran. Just another reason why we can never give up, does not matter our situation.
Z – stands for Zzzzzzz – the sleeping giant. When Ferdinand thinks of uniWines he sees an iceberg in the sea. You are only privilege to see a small bit, but the biggest part is still hidden. The uniWines known today is only the beginning; watch this space because the BEST is still to come……..”You ain’t see nothing yet!!”
