Nov 17^th, 2009 at 11:26am You all probably got this e-mail this morning. Every time I get messages from RS Inc. I have to have a laugh. Wine? There is no end to the branding of the tongue. It's laughable. Is this stuff any good?

Reply #1 - Nov 17^th, 2009 at 12:33pm I've said it before, but if the Stones, Cohl and rs.com thought they could make money out of putting a tongue logo on the band members' turds, they'd probably do it. No doubt there'd be enough fuckwits out there who would make it worth their while.

From that e-mail:
"Rolling Stones Forty Licks Merlot debuted backstage at the 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts at Madison Square Garden last week. Served in the Artist Lounge, Hall of Famers and VIP's got a chance to sample the wine and the reviews are glowing."

Surely Jann Wenner gave it 5 stars...

Jesus fucking Christ. Have these people no embarrassment filter? I'd die of shame if I had to put my name to a mailshot as toe-curling as that.

Check out the infomercial...

I love the way he manages to link the wine to the Stones music and looks like he actually believes it .

"I wanted to work with a wine that captures the essence of what the Stones album was about..."

and

"(The 40 Licks album) is truly a statement of classic rock that is very much timeless..and Merlot, as a variety captures that as well.."

Although this one links the two just perfectly :

"Merlot has been around for a very, very long time (and)
some of the most expensive bottles in the world are Merlot as well.

Spending lots of money on a drink because it has the name Rolling Stones on it is simply fucking insane.

Yes Gazza I suffer from INSANITY because I am NUTCASE and I belong in a mental institution because I want to collect those cute Rolling Stone wine bottles! Not to be confused with being insane for paying $955 for a pair of tickets at MSG, not once, not twice, but 3 times! THAT is REALLY insane! Yeah I am completely OUT OF MY FVCKING MIND when it comes to the Stones, and I dont really give a damn because I would be happy to drink that RS wine and look at that bottle and if it makes me happy, at least I will be INSANELY happy! So will somebody please buy me a bottle of the RS wine? haha yeah right see I really AM insane to think someone might buy me a bottle of it! Cheers! Bottoms Up!

OK I accept! But it will be more costly for you to ship it to the US than to buy it, so no need for you to do that. But thanks anyway! I will, however, accept a glass of wine next time we meet! And I wont buy the RS wine even though I love those cute bottles! You cant always get what you want, a glass of wine in her hand whenever I hear that song I raise my wine glass in the air. Let's go get drunk

because I dont drink beer! I dont like the taste of beer, and most people say they dont like the taste of wine, but I love wine, all types, from all countries. Italian wines, California wines, French wines, Australian wines, Chilean wines, it's all good!
