They say sex sells but how far is too far when you’re selling wine?
There appears to be no boundaries for Naked Winery, which produces wines from both Oregon and Washington State. Billed as a “family winery” its saucy wines are certainly conducive to making a family but not child-friendly.
You can pick from the Climax Table Red, the Dominatrix Pinot Noir or the Missionary Cabernet Sauvignon. On the white side of things, there’s the Foreplay Chardonnay and the Cougar Bubbly White. How on earth did they get these names past the sticklers at the alcohol watchdog, the TTB?
The tasting note for its Penetration Cab reads: “Rich cherry and plum flavors rub the buds deep down on your tongue. Watch the legs release as they spread to perfection down the glass and feel the solid oak presence grow. Intense concentration with a huge extract. Open up, relax and get Penetrated tonight.”
If you buy the Penetration, then Naked Winery suggests you might also like the cookbook for men “Will Cook For Sex Again, Again…and Again.”
It all seems pretty desperate. I’m not entirely sure who they’re targeting with these wines – perhaps the nymphomaniac wine drinking market is bigger than I thought. Could wine porn be the next Moscato?
