It might be too early but we don't care...

Valentines day is nearly here, now before you get all freaked out about it being too soon and run off, I am not going to spend the day filling the blog with Valentines day packaging. I do however, have something to say about these...

These special edition valentines day Codorniu bottles are only available at Tesco during the loved up season and quite frankly I am glad. I am not one to hate valentines products but despite being a high quality product, these look cheap and tacky. The shade of pink they have used is far too sickly and combined with the white hearts covering it makes the whole thing look too pale and whishy washy. The black logo and well crafted typography looks good quality however put on the badly chosen background lessens this appeal. The top gold foil section on the neck looks high quality and the red imprinted section shows that it is a quality product. The white bottle is perhaps the lesser of two evils, it's iridescent finish makes it look of a much higher quality. The gold hearts covering it again however make it look tacky and washed out. I am once again, very glad I do not shop at Tesco.
