Red vs White

'Red vs White' is a classic game of chess waiting to be freed from two crates of local, Okanagan wine.

A series of sculpted corks were used to seal 32 bottles of hand crafted 8th Generation Wine. Once removed from the bottles and placed in the stainless steel collars, the wine-dyed corks make a compete chess set, including 16 white wine cork pieces and 16 red wine cork pieces.

Custom crates were designed for both the red and white wine bottles, which come together to form the chessboard. The game begins when the complete set of corks has been lovingly collected from the bottles.
