We recently happened upon the above tableaux of gimmick wines in Budapest, which are made (or at least bottled) by a company called Vinália Kft. In addition to dry whites featuring the likenesses of German Kaiser Wilhelm, Jack Kennedy, Emperor Franz Josef and post-World War I Hungarian strongman Miklós Horthy, there are reds (get it?) adorned with the mugs of international left-wing icons Lenin and Che Guevara, as well as home-grown Communist stars Béla Kun and János Kádár. All the whites are made from Zöldveltelini and all the reds from Portugieser, which seems pretty silly given that Horthy actually spent his years of post-war exile in Portugal. Meanwhile, if they want to expand their line, the obvious move would be some rosés honoring the world’s “third way” center-left leaders, perhaps led off by a smooth, semi-sweet Obama Feketeleányka you can buy 100% on credit.
I find this company to be in poor taste not humorous. I will not buy the product. Releasing this article is likewise Erik and I will not pass it on. There are so many things to laugh at in this world.To me these are not among them!
Elayne,
Your comment is in poor taste.
There.
Godot.
All of your you comments are in bad taste. But that’s why the Jobbik cult recruited you.
