There is Nothing that Pairs With This

What does it say about a bottle of wine when the label is plonk?
The Northeast Italian winery known as Vina Lunardelli is provoking the strongest response from organizations globally for the sale of what it calls “Hitler Wine”. Vina Lunardelli has started selling a product line of wines that feature images of the infamous leader of the Third Reich ….
… Vina Lunardelli simply states that they are not trying to be offensive in the sale of the Hitler wine.
Rather, they sell wine that promotes key historical figures of Italian and world history which includes other prominent figures such as US President Jimmy Carter, Karl Marx, Benito Mussolini, Che Guevara, and, of course, Adolf Hitler.
The excerpt above is taken from an article by Karen Enyeart that was posted today on the website eCanadaNow under the title Hitler Wine Causes Furor: Call For Global Ban. I invite you to read the article in its entirety here.
I would propose that this is a symptom of the decline in education, and by extension intellectual, quality world wide. Speaking for me and mine, we won’t be drinking this, nor even sending it as gift (in the German sense) to our enemies.
Gross. That's in extremely poor taste. I don't care how good the wine is. You know how I feel about bans, but that's a ban I would actually get behind.
I almost think you should remove the link to their website >:(
Yup. just stupid.
Publicity stunt, pure & simple.
