La Roumanie Conte

[Brézème]

Had this last night. "La Roumanie Conte"!!! - a co-production PUR (Cyril Alonzo) and la Sorga. 13,5% , 40 g/l RS , 0 acidity and sulfur, red bubbly natural wine. Yuck. For altermondialist organic whisky/coke drinkers only. Mais putain, quelle tiquette!!!

"Grenache et Carignan de Faugres vendangs en roulotte"

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

That is so cool!

If I were Romanian, I would file a complaint for trademark infringement.

I'd love to be able to put this on the restaurant list simply so that I can quote that line. Brilliant.

My friend Constantin from Bucharest who is a professor at the EHESS will love that conflation.

Note that the entire text on the label is precisely :

PUR in great association with La SORGA
Proudly presents
LA ROUMANIE CONTEE
Grenache et Carignan de Faugres vendangs en roulotte"

More humour and less mauvais got, maybe???

[Cristian Dezso]

I feel so insulted. And yeah, I will file a complaint... Damn!!!

All of La Sorga's labels are like that.

They also make a lovely Beaujolais-Villages from Sguret, FYI.

Did your son make it?

I know it was meant to be funny, but... There's a lot of ethnic stereotyping in France of Romanians being dirty gypsies, which does a huge disservice to their literature and cultureand the fact that they are such staunch Francophiles who, more than any other non-Francophone nation except perhaps Russia, learn the French language to a T, etc. etc.

Love the word Romany.
