You're in for a treat
Wednesday, December 30, 2009
During a shopping trip to the Casino supermarket this morning (yes, I am off this week as the more perceptive of my readers may have gathered), I saw this Beaujolais label. The word “dru” (in the context of a liquid) means heavy, thick, while “pisse” means exactly what you think it does, so here we have a wine label that basically reads, “Thick and heavy piss”. In retrospect, perhaps I should have called this entry “Urine for a treat”... So far, my favorite wine label had been Fat Bastard (and I actually saw a bottle of it at Trader Joe’s in Chapel Hill). By the way, the Beaujolais label does not refer to the wine’s effect on the consumer; rather it comes from an old French vintner’s expression that means that the grapes are particularly juicy and will make a fine wine. Cheers!
