Cabo Wabo bottle redesign
Sammy posted this today:
Sammy here,
Wanting to make sure you all heard about my new bottle design for Cabo Wabo tequila. I thought it was time to kick it once more and I asked the same guys who have been designing my album and CD covers for years to make this happen. The new design is a little of Mexico and a whole lot of kick ass Rock and Roll. It’s a nod to the artisinal nature of the original bottle but more refined and I wanted it given a shot of rock and roll energy that is 100% Cabo Wabo. The best thing is that while the look of the bottle is new, the liquid inside is the same hand-crafted, amazing tequila it has always been.
I’m excited about the new look, and hope everyone digs it as much as I do! Cabo Wabo rocks the world!

I don’t know Sam. The new bottles have a nice clean look but it seems like the newer refined design is just following the pack of other premium tequilas out there. I liked the newer blue bottle design. It stood out from the others even if it didn’t look as classy.

I like the original bottle design best.

Your money in my pocket rocks the world even more!!!!!!

Does the world really need another premium tequila in a tinted bottle with a label designed by album sleeve artists?

The old labels were cool. Something different. This one looks very corporatey and un-Sammy. I don’t like it. At all!! Bottle must be blue!

WTF? I’m not usually one of these guys who criticize the postings on here but Sammy’s tequila bottle redesign? That’s a stretch.

Hmm..I don’t know if I like it..its okay tho!

I like the older two designs a lot better. Have to agree with Kayser Sozay. This is a nice clean look, but it just puts it as a look-alike for everything else on the shelf.

I think this “news” should have been posted in the VH store, and not on the VHND. Sorry, but the redesign of a tequila bottle just doesn’t cut it as news. Must be a very slow news day.
P.S. I still like Sammy/Van Halen/Chickenfoot.

When tequila is as good as Cabo is, the label design is just not that important!!!!

I bet Kimberly is a hottie

Thank you jimmy buffett!

Sammy, Cabo is about RUSTIC beauty, not streamlined.
Your label/bottle doe not fit the “brand” of “Cabo Wabo”.
Should have gone with something more handblown or artisian style. But Im sure that would cost more dinero.
Looks more like Brentwood Wabo.
Gated Community Wabo.
Get back to your roots Sammy.

i love tequila!
July 21st, 2009 at 1:09 pm
I hate the new bottle and label. The old blue bottle was so unique!
July 21st, 2009 at 1:13 pm
I bet Kimberly’s a 45 year old man, laughing his ASS off at all you horn dog’s!!
You should’nt have changed the bottle and deffinetly don’t change the TASTE!!!!!
July 21st, 2009 at 2:31 pm
This new design sucks big time, the other one was better, anyways I hate tequila!
July 21st, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Sinking to a new low I see. I can top it: I would love to do endless shots of this crap using Kimberly’s legs for the salt!

“cabo Wabo rocks the world”….yeah right. Just another lame attempt to grab peoples hard earned cash. Seriously - who would get excited over a new bottle design?
Sammy Hagar = Money grabber

Ya the old bottle was awesome. Embodied Mexico the new label look like an attempt to be cool. The suits are fucking with the product.
July 21st, 2009 at 4:31 pm
The new bottles are horrible…Thank God I saved my old bottles…I’ll just have to refill them and toss out the new bottles.
July 21st, 2009 at 7:10 pm
who the flip cares? ugh
July 21st, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Yo VHND !!! W.T.F. ???
July 21st, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Sammy and Cabo is Cool but I don’t think the new Tequila bottle design is news to me.
July 21st, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Well, this is a perfect example of what happens when you sell out to a multi-national liquor consortium……bland.
Not that there’s anything wrong with making a buck. What are some of you negative nancys? Commies?
No wonder the economy went down the drain!

I love Sammy too, and I love Cabo Wabo, but I agree…this is not really news I suppose…
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:36 pm
I bet even Sammy thinks the new bottle design is far less rock and roll than the old one. A big reminder of how he gave up control of the product in exchange for that $80 million. But so what when you consider the 20% stake he kept will soon be worth what the 80% stake he sold was worth. Ka-ching!

This is almost as exciting as when Ed came out with his own line of shoes! Zzzzzzzzz
The bottle is even shaped like Hagar…portly.
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:40 pm
LOVE it. very sharp .
( btw- i have worked in graphics/logo design /sign making etc and it’s just my opinion , but i understand graphics and this is a nice change of look , don’t worry - it’ll continue to evolve like all logo’s do )
July 23rd, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Once again let’s bash Sammy for doing something!
But if Eddie put out Eruption penis pills it would be alright? Ya know, with the famous striped logo on them!
Get over yourselves and don’t post here if you don’t like it! I have all 3 bottles and every one made since they were put out!

If I recall, during the F.U.C.K. tour, wasn’t it Sammy who was sporting the yellow denim jacket with some corporate logo on the back. I knew the moment that he signed off the end of the show as “The Red Rocker Sammy Hagar” that this train was pulling into the station sooner than later. Even his T-shirts and red sunglasses he wore on stage had “Red” plastered all over them. Sammy is all about the fans alright…as long as they keep pumping their money into his fat pockets. I like Sammy as a vocalist. Just don’t piss down my leg and tell me it’s raining either. Fans my ass, it’s all about the bennies. Those Lamborghini’s ain’t free, aye Sammy??

It always bugs me when talented musicians invest their money into major businesses that have absolutely nothing to do with the artistry that originally made them famous. I know that T-shirts don’t have any direct connection to music, but at least they’re a way of showing that you’re proud to be a fan; and they’re sold at concerts. But what does tequila have to do with music? Or what, for than matter, does perfume have to do with music? But I guess if it tastes good or smells good, why not? I’m just not a big fan of tequila or perfume, I suppose. I did order a pair of Eddie’s shoes. At least the striped pattern on them has something to do with his music; since it’s similar to the pattern he had on the guitars he played with. But if I drank Cabo Wabo it wouldn’t make me think of music.
