These days, just about anyone with enough cash (and enough requisite pretention) can launch their own brand of wine, and it seems like the go-to investment for aging rockstars. The latest news in celebrity whinery is that Whitesnake (the 1980s hair band, for you ruffians) has launched Whitesnake Zinfandel 2008. Naturally, lead singer David Coverdale describes the product with much punnery:
It’s a bodacious, cheeky little wine, filled to the brim with the spicy essence of sexy, slippery Snakeyness… I recommend it to complement any & all grown up friskiness & hot tub jollies…
Is This Love? I believe it is…
No word on whether your local liquor stores will bother to carry this stuff, but — luckily — Coverdale will sell you his overrated piece-of-crap wine directly from Whitesnake.com… that is, if you’re willing to give up $29.95 per bottle (w/12 bottle minimum purchase).
Strangely, it never occurs to Coverdale that even his former fans would be embarrassed to hold a bottle of Whitesnake Zinfandel. In fact, any nostalgia for this band is fairly limited to watching a young Tawny Kitaen simulate intercourse with the hood of a vehicle. So, enjoy:
