Retaliatory branding? Pourquoi pas?

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. A French vintner was frustrated with complaints that the wines of his region, Languedoc-Roussillon, were crap.  So he created "Le vin de merde" - shit or crap wine.  Apparently it's not half bad, and that fly on the label adds that certain quelle heure est-il, non?




So the irony here is that the wine sold out almost immediately.  But I just love the connoisseurs in this video who taste the wine and pronounce it palatable.  Real French Joe Sixpacks.  And the slogan is nice too - "le pire . . . cache le meilleur" — the worst hides the best.  Hey, a votre santé!
