Picture the scene. It’s a Wednesday evening. You had an email from Emma at 5:58pm saying ‘Hey, if you don’t mind, can you finish this powerpoint by tomorrow morning please :)’ and on the way home you had to sit next to someone who has yet to be acquainted with anything from the Dove range. The universe saw your frazzled-self and whispered wiiiiiiiiine, until you caved and bought a bottle of Pinot Grigio from Tesco Express.
So now you are sipping your fermented grape juice and you are BORED. Celebs Go Dating has finished and there is only so many times you can refresh Instagram before you start to go barmy. You begin to read the wine bottle label and wish it said a lot more than ’11%’ or 'drink responsibly'. Pffft.
FUNNY YOU SHOULD THINK THNK THAT ACTUALLY. Eff 3d printers and all that virtual reality nonsense. Someone has invented something that really matters.
Please enter to the stage, The Matteo Correggia wine company, who have brought out a range of wine bottles with small stories attached. Wine + literature = Blimmin’ genius (ammirite?!)
Look how cool it looks! Not only will it make our Wednesday evenings less traffic, it is everyone's Chrismas present sorted this year. Chin chin to that.
What’s even more is that they have paired the story and wine so they both will compliment each other. Can this get any better, srsly?
Now for the bad news. This is almost as bad as when we found out Olly Murs was a bad boyfriend.
It's only available in Italian. Erm... WHAT. But, what better excuse to broaden our knowledge with a new language?
Wine gods, plz can we have cute stories on wine bottles in English too?
Grazie xoxox
