vinvinvin is a 70-seater wine bar in Montreal that exclusively serves organic wines. The name is a reference to the three types of people in the wine industry: those who make it, those who serve it, and those who drink it. The bar is a collaboration between partners Da Fonseca, chef Marina De Figueiredo from fine dining restaurant Candide, and Antonin Frenette-Laporte from local brasserie ISLE de GARDE.
As head chef, De Figueirido has created a range of simple dishes made with products from local suppliers she knows from her days at Candide. “She still has a passion for some producers that we have in Quebec, people that she loves,” Da Fonseca explained. “It’s really a human project. We want to work with humans that share the same values as we do, in the winemaking, in the food making.”
vinvinvin’s identity, designed by Nother Studio, reflects the bar’s ethos: ‘You don’t need to know wine to enjoy it’. The graphic language revolves around the adventures of Jean Jus, a ‘bon vivant’ character illustrated by Catherine Potvin. The jovial and silly nature of the illustrations, combined with the simplicity of the typography, makes the art of wine feel approachable and fun. There’s no room for any pretentiousness at vinvinvin. No Château or Domaine, just good wine and good people.

vinvinvin是一家位于蒙特利尔的拥有70个座位的酒吧，专门供应有机葡萄酒。这个名字指的是葡萄酒行业中的三种人:酿造者、侍奉者和饮用者。该酒吧是合作伙伴Da Fonseca，厨师Marina De Figueiredo来自美食餐厅Candide，和Antonin Frenette-Laporte来自当地的brasserie ISLE De GARDE。
作为主厨，De Figueirido用她在Candide时认识的当地供应商的产品制作了一系列简单的菜肴。达·丰塞卡解释说:“她仍然对我们魁北克的一些制作人有热情，她爱这些人。”“这是一个真正的人类项目。我们希望与与我们有着相同价值观的人合作，无论是酿酒还是食品制造。”
vinvinvin的身份是由Nother工作室设计的，它反映了酒吧的精神:“你不需要了解葡萄酒就可以享受它。”漫画语言围绕着Jean Jus的历险展开，Jean Jus是凯瑟琳•波特文(Catherine Potvin)所描绘的“好生活”(bon vivant)角色。插图的快乐和愚蠢的性质，结合简单的排版，使葡萄酒的艺术感到平易近人和有趣。在vinvinvin没有任何炫耀的空间。没有酒庄和酒庄，只有好酒和好人。
