Cookoovaya® | House Wine
The name was chosen based primarily on the identification of the owl with knowledge and wisdom, aiming to show the deep knowledge of its chefs and their gastronomic "wisdom". On a second level, the name connects the owl –whose vision is excellent both during the day and the night- with eating out in a restaurant, something that can be done noon or evening. Cookoovaya® Wise Cuisine is the result of a partnership among five Greek cooks, bound by a common food culture. Pericles Koskinas, Kleomenis Zournatzis, Nickos Karathanos, Spyros and Vaggelis Liakos strongly believe in a rural and urban cuisine, long forgotten. They cook it anew, using agriculture goods from small-scale producers, simple techniques so as to highlight its authentic taste and origins. The food at Cookoovaya® Wise Cuisine is vibrant and clean, it follows and respects nature's cycle. The symbol of the logo was inspired by the eyes of an owl, designed in a way resembling the cooking hotplates of a professional kitchen. For the logo, the chosen typography has clean, simple lines and capital letters that equal the thickness of the logo symbol, in order to express the restaurant’s validity and professionalism. The winery of the Gkirlemi family is located in Prosilia, at the village of Polydendri, in Domokos. In the 350 acre vineyard, 12 Greek and foreign varieties are cultivated with love and respect for the environment. Four labels were designed (Assyrtiko, Malagouzia, Rosé Syrah & Red Merlot). The inspiration came from the letters of the words of every variety, in order to visually differentiate each label as well as to create a unified identity for these and the labels that will follow. By rotating the bottle we discover that the width of the label equals the maximum rotation ability of an owl’s head: 270 degrees.
