Geek ‘n Rolla 2010

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

It is very nearly the one year web anniversary for Park Lane - how scarey geeknrolla20101is that and where have the last twelve months gone?

Our involvement with Geek n’ Rolla courtesy of Mike Butcher (Techcrunch Europe) and Petra Johansson (Twisted Tree) signalled the imminent launch of our great Park Lane online adventure last year;  what an adventure it has been!

Thanks due to Ben and the boys at award winning design agency Fhoke for coming up with the excellent label design - all over again!  Beware, there is likely to be an interactive competition with free champagne for the next Techcrunch awards…

And here we are a year on, thrilled to be the official supplier of personalised champagne again for the #gknr awards today and this is a photo of one of the speaker’s bottles before despatch from our cellars yesterday.  Hope that is a good image of Mike and wonder who will be taking this one home

So, for all those interested and keen (especially to tune into @hermioneway’s background chat!), checkout the live feed of events and the after-party at SE1, London.

And for all those who get a bottle, give us your comments please!

Chin chin.

Free Champagne

Free Champagne

We have 3 bottles of Limited Edition TechCrunch Europe Award Winners Champagne to give away

As our friends at TechCrunch are putting the finishing touches to the the Europas, the TechCrunch Europe Awards 2009 we have been busy showcasing our services providing personalised Champagne.  Even in single bottles we can print, label and dispatch unique, one off, customised bottles of the finest French Champagne.

In our enthusiasm to salute the best of European technology and start-ups we have accidentally printed too many labels ;o).  Luke in the warehouse has diligently applied them so we thought we may as well send them out.

We have 3 bottles of Limited Edition Winners Champagne (label below) to give away,  now everyone can celebrate like a winner, enter to win:

Rules

  • Anyone can play
  • Follow us @nonvintage on twitter…
  • Tweet @nonvintage [and then add the 3 words that describe your favourite Champagne]
  • We decide who wins based on the best (funny, outrageous, sad, boring… you get the idea)
  • All over on 29th July (so be around 31st for delivery!)

If you don’t win, and you have got something to celebrate why not design your own label?  Get started here

Europas buzz

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Inspired by Lisa Whelan’s excellent voting guide to the Europas we thought we would look at who might actually win.  Then we realized that we don’t know much about start-ups, (lucky that there is such a illustrious judging panel) so I though we would take a look at which categories were generating the most comments:

  • Best European Web Application Or Service [comments 310]
  • Best Design [comments 118]
  • Best Bootstrapped Startup (less than 3 years old) [comments 142]
  • Best Social Innovation (which benefits society) [comments 38]
  • Best Enterprise Startup [comments 83]
  • Best Cleantech/Environmental Startup [comments 4]
  • Best Hardware / Real World Gadget [comments 45]
  • Best Entertainment Application or Service [comments 885]
  • Best Mobile Startup [comments 141]
  • Best Mobile Application [comments 142]
  • Best Startup Founder [comments 58]
  • Best New Startup in 2008/9 [comments 52]
  • Best European Investor of the Year (VC or Angel fund) [comments 23]
  • Best Investor Personality [comments 17]
