Underwater-Aged Wine 'SUBRINA' 2021 Vintage 'ACT5' Refreshed with New Packaging Featuring the Sea of Minami-Izu

Common Sense Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; CEO: Eisuke Aoki) has announced that its underwater-aged wine brand 'SUBRINA' will refresh the packaging design for its 2021 vintage 'ACT5', with sales beginning on June 1, 2026, via its official online shop. The new wrapping paper was created by contemporary painter Ryoten Ogata, known for his nature-themed works, in collaboration with the SUBRINA brand. The artwork depicts the sea off the coast of Nakagi, Minami-Izu, where the wine is aged. To celebrate, a 'SUBRINA Tasting Day' was held in Meguro, Tokyo, on May 30-31, 2026, showcasing the original artwork and the wine's unique world. Launched in 2011 as Japan's first underwater-aged wine, ACT5 is the fifth installment in the series. It received a silver medal at IWC2024, the first and only underwater-aged wine to achieve this. Using Syrah from Stellenbosch, South Africa, the wine is aged in the seabed of Minami-Izu, resulting in a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins. Additionally, the sealing wax has been redesigned to ensure a smoother opening experience for customers.
