A New Way to Enjoy the Story in Your Glass
What if your wine bottle could tell you where it came from, who made it, and why it tastes the way it does? Well, that’s exactly what’s now possible thanks to NIGL Martin & Leopold Winery, a family-run vineyard nestled in the heart of Austria, and Amlogy, the creative tech partner helping brands turn storytelling into unforgettable digital experiences.
With the help of WebAR (Augmented Reality via the web), this collaboration has transformed ordinary wine labels into living narratives. All it takes is a smartphone and a curious mind, no apps, no downloads. Simply scan the label, and suddenly you’re walking through the vineyard, meeting the winemakers, and hearing the legacy behind the wine in your hand.
Turning Wine Labels into Immersive Journeys
The wine market is filled with beautiful bottles, but what makes one truly memorable? For NIGL Martin & Leopold, it’s not just about the product, it’s about the story.
Wine has always been about more than the drink itself, it’s about the place, the people, and the heritage. NIGL’s WebAR label doesn’t overwhelm you with lengthy videos or complicated menus. Instead, it focuses on two simple yet meaningful elements:
- From grapes to barrels – Discover the feel of the area where your wine originates, creating a tangible link between you and the land.
- The Iconic Tower – Watch NIGL’s symbolic tower emerge in 3D, adding a sense of tradition and identity to the moment.
The experience is quick, elegant, and non-intrusive, perfect for enjoying between sips without breaking the ambiance of a meal or tasting. You can find out more about the project here.
Amlogy’s Role in Bringing the Vision to Life
To make the vision a reality, the label itself was designed with seamless AR markers, carefully integrated to preserve its elegance while enabling WebAR functionality. Behind the scenes, the development team ensured the experience would work flawlessly on any device, fully browser-based and app-free, so that anyone could access it instantly, without downloads or barriers. From the very first scan to the final toast, every interaction was crafted to be fast, smooth, and intuitive, delivering a premium user experience with no instructions required.
Why This Works for Winery
Some AR experiences aim to dazzle with complex effects, but NIGL’s approach is about subtlety. The minimalist WebAR scenes enhance the brand story without distracting from the wine itself. This is a prime example of how less can be more when it comes to product-linked augmented reality.
The label becomes a conversation starter, whether at a wine bar, a dinner party, or a winery tour. Guests can scan, smile, and sip, all within moments.
Product Storytelling: From Vineyard to Glass
The WebAR wine label transformed every bottle into a gateway to Austria’s wine country. With just a quick scan, wine lovers could wander through the very vineyards where the grapes were grown, feeling a deeper connection to the land. It wasn’t just a label, it was a story worth sharing, a moment that blended heritage, technology, and taste into something truly unforgettable!
NIGL’s WebAR label shows how even simple augmented experiences can create a meaningful emotional connection between brand and customer. It’s proof that AR doesn’t always need to be cinematic, it just needs to enhance the core product experience. For wineries, breweries, or any retail product with a story to tell, this kind of interactive packaging offers a fresh way to engage customers while staying true to the product’s essence!
Worth Raising a Glass To: The Future Is in the Label
Next time you’re at a wine shop or restaurant and spot a wine bottle, remember how this perfect example can bring more than meets the eye to every wine label. It’s a simple touch of magic, no more, no less, that makes the wine taste even better! Because in the world of Amlogy and NIGL, your wine doesn’t just pour, it speaks!
