Care for a glass of Hitler white? Mussolini merlot? Yes, nazi wine is now on tap.

Well, not on tap, not even in boxes, but in actual corked bottles.

Here’s the AP story that caught my eye. Here’s the available labels from the winery’s website (choose the “historical” series on the left of the page.

Oh this wacky world. I’ve been much happier since I’ve learned to laugh rather than cry over the neverending supply of fruitcakes.

Damn it, minimum order from the vintner is 6 cartons, of 12 bottles each. I like my wines, and I would love some fine Che’ Guevara Chablis or Der Fuhrer Zinfandel, but 72 bottles? That would be some dinner party.

I don’t understand why some people are getting into a tizzy over it. I mean, it’s not like they’re supporting Hitler, or something. They’re just putting his picture on a bottle. It’s kind of silly.

Just think of how much free publicity they have gotten. Genuis marketing tatic.

On the same level, I was floored when I learned about this SODA:

And around that, some great/horrid slogans:

Get hammered and sickled!

The Great October Sodalist Revolution!!

Leninade, The drink for the masses!

Genius marketing tactic? I am not sure, but is very amusing.

I kinda like LENINADE: BETTER THAN EXPECTED! as a slogan.

When I clicked and explored that lin, my first and only response was laughter.

They’re quite blatant about it being a gimmick:

The real worry for me is the person who buys the Hitler ones…

I’m just guessing that wine tastes like cat urine. Not that I would recognize it, mind you. See sig.


Never kiss an animal that can lick its own genitalia.

How bout if it *smells * like die katze pisse?

Happy

I take it that the wine is not kosher for Passover.

Spit take!

There’s a small wine cabinet that is listed in This Thread that seems strangely appropriate. Its a seems to be a ‘must have’ for any buyer of Hitler wine.

Seeing as how Der Fuhrer was a teetotaller it seems to me as if the wine sellers are just taking the er …piss.

Eine Reich, eine Volk, eine Pissup…heil!! Hic!
