Lisa McGuigan goes Platinum

Back in 1997, Lisa McGuigan established an Australian wine packaging landmark when she sourced special bottles from Europe and put eye-catching pewter and copper metal labels on them. The initiative won the Tempus Two brand the 2002 AQ Australia Professionals’ Presentation and Packaging Award at the Wine Australia Exhibition and helped make Tempus Two a 150,000 case-a-year global sales success. Now Lisa has her own Lisa McGuigan brand and has given the five $25 current-releases metal labels and had the wines made by Liz Jackson, now First Creek chief winemaker and Hunter Valley Winemaker of the Year, reports the Newcastle Herald.
