NICE ad. Love it

Because everyboody would have drunk it all!
Nice and clean!

Crisp and clean. The image portrays the abstract notion of 'light,' but then your text introduces the concrete notion of a table that is nowhere to be seen. A simpler message along the lines of "Kabooza, the truly light wine" might work better. [An aside: Why is a 'light' wine a good thing? Is it especially appropriate for particular occasions or with particular foods?] The label is classy and sophisticated, but while its border matches the curve of the bottle exterior, the illuminated-K logo and text do not.

Bottle design is very good. shadow you should compress vertically at-least 50%.

Well, you just changed a table for a shelf, but the message is still the same...
Light is light, but not in excess!!!
@Dan: I don't understand about wines - I don't even drink - but I suppose that a difference of a white wine and a red wine is clear, at least for me; I think that the white one is lighter in taste than the red one. Soft and smooth... Am I wrong, author?

Shadow isn't too convincing... gotta agree it needs pulling in vertically... also just a nit pick but the shadow wouldn't be oval either... based on the light hitting the bottle...
oh one more thing... the message might be conveyed better if there was a bottle either side of your 'brand'... just to show the difference visually... ??? just an idea!?!...

I like the concept, and it looks like a real ad, so kudos for that. I will agree on a few minor technicalities: The shadow seems a bit off (perhaps the vertical compression suggestions will work) and if one looks closely, as DanLunberg suggests, the logo and text on the bottle don't match the curvature of the label itself. Perhaps a very slight warp on those elements would resolve. Either way, it's well done, conceptually, as well as execution. Good luck author.

Very nice work author with great slogan...best of luck

Spicy fresh!

Uh, I love the typography

Good typo. Keep a small product visual in the bottom.

Cool...great effects...best of luck

I like the trendy graffiti style, good attempt.

It might elicit a more "watery" feel if the gradient was blue. Just my opinion.

Way too much text... it's not really advertising a new drink.... IMO

When I construct ads for convention magazines, I usually have to cram in 50-100 words of text 4-8 pictures (all with captions) sometimes coupons as well, not to mention maps to the booth..

It's advertising a company that cleans water.. thus a beverage.. IMHO

Thanks for your comments

Goal:
Kabooza is hot! Kabooza is cool! Kabooza is just the most exciting beverage you ever tried.

Is the design meeting the contest goal? not sure.

If you've ever been to a Product Convention, this would be the coolest Product there.. industrial product Conventions are where all the nerds in High School grow up to spend the bazillion dollars they earned for studying so hard... (though some of the products are quite amazing.. industrial dryers are the most fun.. they can process thousand pound loads and you could fit an entire class of fifth graders into one

The idea for a company making a beverage base popped into my head, (It's very Hallmarky, but I wanted to press it out of the catalog look)

I did try it in the blue spectrum (as suggested by Blind Scientist) but I just kept going back to the red so I decided to keep it... (it's not like I'm going to win or anything, but I sure enjoyed making the piece)

Thanks again Gopan!

Water is still the best refreshing and essencial drink for life (does anybody live without water?)
