How obsessive a fan must you be to purchase an ACDC wine? Wine and metal dont even make sense in the same sentence but .. wait I get it now.
The average ACDC fan is older and perhaps more stable now- thus wine rather than whiskey. I find it a sell out of mass proportion but it is the way of business. Earn it while you can.
This isn’t the bands first trip to the vinyard, this latest swill follows the 2011 release of a series of band-branded wines, including the You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato, Hells Bells Sauvignon Blanc, Back In Black Shiraz and Highway To Hell Cabernet Sauvignon. Embarrassing, dontcha think?
I dont think you’re meant to drink it though. Packaging is designed to be a permanent keepsake, presented in an immaculate gift box and bottled in Saver Glass from France, bound with a pewter neck band. Just pay up.
“After the global launch of AC/DC The Wine in Australia, it’s very fitting that the heartland and point of origin for AC/DC is the market that has access to the extremely limited AC/DC Platinum,” said Francis Fusca, executive director of sales and marketing at Warburn Estate. “AC/DC Platinum is definitely at the forefront of wine packaging in this country. The hardest part is for the fans who will miss out – this product could be considered one of the rarest memorabilia seen out of the AC/DC stable.”
There are better ways to spend your money. This marketing nonsense for has been bands has got to go- it’s just an embarrassed.
