Italian term or phrase: abbigliaggio
Hi,
I am having an hard time finding an elegant alternative to "packaging". Any ideas?
"..abbiamo cercato di migliorare l'abbigliaggio del vino....", it is an informal letter.
Thanks in advance to all of you,

  -> thanks Lise, see my comment below

agree  dianalang1: I think they are talking about shipping the wine bottles (as a business, not as presents)

  -> Hi Diana, my understanding is that they are talking about the bottle features, i.e. label, cork and so on, all that concern the external "appearance". I agree, not as a gift

  -> Hi Trish. The context should make it clear whether "presentation" is necessary. Italian winemakers often use terms like "veste" or "abbigliaggio" to distinguish elaborate labelling or packaging from standard formats.

Explanation:
L’abbigliaggio può essere considerato come la fase finale del processo di imbottigliamento. Le bottiglie, riempite del proprio contenuto, vengono chiuse con turaccioli compatti inseriti a pressione mediante una macchina. Nel caso si tratti di spumante, i tappi sono fissati da una piccola calotta tonda metallica e da una gabbietta di filo di ferro che viene attorcigliato a spirale per impedirne il sollevamento. La parte superiore delle bottiglie viene coperta con una capsula in foglio metallico. Si procede in seguito all’applicazione dell’etichetta e della controetichetta. Secondo le vigenti norme, l’etichetta deve contenere la denominazione di vendita, il nome e la sede del produttore e/o del trasformatore, la quantità e la gradazione alcolica (presentate congiuntamente su un unico campo visivo). La controetichetta deve invece presentare obbligatoriamente il numero di lotto di appartenenza del vino e la dicitura ecologica che inviti con un disegno o una scritta a non disperdere il recipiente nell'ambiente dopo l'uso. Spesso le controetichette elencano inoltre le caratteristiche, le temperature di servizio e i possibili abbinamenti gastronomici. Una volta completata l’etichettatura, le bottiglie vengono stoccate in cantina o in magazzino, dove resteranno fino al momento della vendita o consumazione.
