I gotta be honest, nobody whines like Trump. Little bitch complains about everything. 🤷

You know that shit’s just a blend.

Bordeaux and Champaign are often blends.

tornavish@lemmy.cafe · 9 pts · 309d

Trump wine probably a blend of Bordeaux and Champaign.

Illinois?

Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 308d

It's just a party school anyways. /S

But, fun fact, thanks to climate change down state Illinois can grow passable champagne style wine now.

egrets@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 308d

I guess there's both "blend" in the traditional sense of mixing varietals from grapes you grew or sources you trust to create more balanced or complex wine, and "blend" in the sense of chucking in whatever grapes you were able to source cheap, from any climate and terroir and growing technique.

Is this like Trump Steaks? Or Trump Airlines? Or Trump University? Or a few Casinos? Same business plan and none of them really succeeded.

  1. Take the money
  2. Run
  3. ???
  4. Profit!

Who would buy alcohol branded after someone who doesn't drink?

homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 309d

MAGAts

"wine" mostly welches with some lead and forever chemicals for taste.

Now I can’t get the image of someone spraying firefighting foam with PFAS like cool whip into a full wineglass out of my head

P00ptart@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 308d (1 reply)

I mean... The way it's going, they'll be able to sell it as the same without telling you. Like a server at olive garden "excuse me sir, would you like some cheese-like foodstuff made from tree pulp?"

YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 308d

Not for nothing, but olive garden does use actual parm reg cheese. And it's only the pre shredded bag cheese at stores that use cellulose to keep the shreds separated.

But yeah, I wouldn't trust anything with his name on it especially if meant to be injested.

SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 308d

Teaparty that shit in a field somewhere. Prevent it from ever being bought or sold.

AquaTofana@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 309d

I will gladly drink anything branded "Military Special" over that shit. IYKYK.

Also, I swear I'll give it the bird when I pass by in the Class Six.

I’m surprised that he didn’t insist on having his detailed image, a silhouette of his profile, or at least his signature on the label.

melsaskca@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 308d

That's like the old days when big factories had stores for their workers to shop in.
