PenDance Calligraphy & Engraving

Engraving - Personalized Wine Bottles

 


Hand calligraphy sandcarved on a champagne bottle

 

Custom-engraved wine, champagne, or liquor bottles provide a unique and festive way to send greetings and thank-you’s to your family and guests. 

  • Send best wishes to the bride & groom  
  • Celebrate birthdays & anniversaries
  • Show customers your appreciation
  • Award tournament & contest winners
  • Praise coworkers for a job well done
  • Congratulate new home owners
  • Send a thank you note in style

PenDance can either hand-engrave your message in hand calligraphy design, or sandcarve it in a type font. We can leave the labels intact or remove the labels to engrave a larger design.

Hand-engraving is recommended when you have different names or messages to engrave on one or more bottles. Sandcarving is recommended when you want artwork (such as a logo) on your bottles, or prefer a type font for the lettering.

NOTE: Sparkling wines can only be sandcarved, not hand-engraved.

See our sample messages section for ideas for how to personalize your wine bottles for holidays, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and more.

To request PenDance's engraving services:

  1. The customer must be over 21 years of age.  
     
  2. The customer must confirm that wine can be shipped TO Texas from his/her address and FROM Texas to his/her address BEFORE placing an engraving order with PenDance. The customer can request confirmation from the local city or county clerk's office, or the state's alcoholic beverage control authority.  
     

Texas State Law and Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission (TABC) Rules

Below are Texas state law and TABC rules regarding wine shipment and engraving, provided by the TABC.

  1. Wine can only be shipped by a licensed carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc.) FROM any state TO "wet" areas in Texas to persons over 21 years of age.
     
  2. Wine can only be shipped by a licensed carrier WITHIN Texas TO "wet" areas to persons over 21 years of age.
     
  3. An engraving business without an alcohol license CANNOT buy wine on behalf of a customer for engraving and then sell it back to the customer.
     

  4. An engraving business CAN accept shipment or delivery of wine ALREADY PURCHASED by the customer, engrave it, then ship it back to the customer. This assumes that the customer is in an area where wine sales are legal and the customer is over 21. Shipping must be done through a licensed carrier.
     

  5. Wine bottles that have been engraved cannot be resold in Texas. The engraving is considered "a change in the label", which prevents the engraved bottles from legally being resold.

NOTE: Wine can be shipped FROM Texas ONLY TO those states that allow such wine shipments to persons of legal drinking age. It's a felony in some states to receive wine shipments from other states (Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, etc).
