Commemorative Wine Bottles

Hoping Charles Woodson does some special labels with his wine.

According to Vivino, your average similarly rated cabernet sauvignon (3.8 stars on Vivino) costs 8-10 bucks a bottle. 

But you're not really buying it for the wine. Drink it for the bottle, don't drink it for the bottle.

I don't buy anything from a company that goes by man-o-swine.

I’d hold out for something licensed, these are just generic that any company can do.

In '84/'85, I hosted a BYOCB (the C was for cheap) party in my room in South Quad. One of the bottles that someone brought was Tiger Fever wine, after the '84 World Series.  I held onto that empty for a long time,  but sadly it was lost to the sands of time. 

Woodson said on Twitter (X) that he's going to have something too so I would wait for those personally.

This is garbage, yes.

So winning a National Title really is like going to Disney World.  But instead of mickey mouse or the princesses, They slap maize and blue on everything and mark it up 300%.

That is the dumbest piece of natty swag I've seen yet.

It's Two Buck Chuck with a fancy paint job.

I've got a cellar full of plenty of bottles that cost more that I'll be happy to drink in 20 to 30 years, assuming I'm still alive. I could get my kid to paint some maize and blue stripes on them if I wanted, but Alfred  Tesseron would probably be disappointed.

they should all be Boone's Farm

Have a few of these from 49ers (although licensed) and some corporate branded events - also just got 2 bottles of the helmet one.  
 

can’t imagine a world where I care about the wine that’s inside it or would ever open them. 

Manoswine? Does Torgo stomp the grapes or is it Mike now that he serves the Master?

I bought one 

I assume these actually contain something, unlike the commemorative Fruit Loops boxes.

Under their own label, on their website, they’re selling in the mid $20s. Their sourcing information checks out, but is a tad vague. Pinot Noir comes from Willamette, Tuscan from Tuscany, red blend from “premiere wine making regions of California”.  But that’s too vague for anyone who considers themselves an Oenophile.  Bottom line, they would probably be priced in the $8-15 range at your local retailer. 
 

Woodson’s labels are all $20 and give me a bit more to work with in terms of sourcing and style.  Still, they too, if bottled by a mainstream vintner would probably retail at about that same level. 
 

just to satisfy my curiosity, I just bought a bottle from Woodson. I’ll be interested to see if I actually get it. Problem is, here in Michigan shipping of wine is verboten, for the most part. OTOH, maybe this gets classified as a “novelty” and it ships. 
 

I bought the Pinot Noir and I’m going to be interested to see what that 15% ABV tastes like.  Pinots  are typically lighter than that.
