As those of you who have bought the Legandary Cars expansion pack for Burnout Paradise will now, there are only four automobiles worthy of rendering in glorious HD: Knightrider’s Kit, the Ghostmobile, the Hazzardous Dodge Charger and the sleek, industrial, that’sthebloodyfuturerighttherethatis DeLorean.
So, how does this relate to wine? Well, after one last trip with Marty to witness the ancient Inca civilisations, let’s say ol’ Doc Brown has had enough of his Flux-Capacitor and decides to install a little drinks cabinet into his central armresty-bit. What what booze could posibly match the glorious, metal’n'wire aesthetics of the DeLorean?
Like some brash early-90s PC game that attempts to link Aztec mythology with time-travel and shooting shit, may I present All In One wines from Winery Estate Dragomir (Bulgarian, in case you’re wondering).
I mean that’s seriously cool, really really slick. Silver and gold pattina? Check. Aztec-circuitboard pattern? Check. Futuristic linear typeface? Check. I like it, I like it a lot – the attention to detail and high-quality sheen is apparent.
But McFlyyyyyyyyyyyy!? Where’s the soul? Is this chardonnay going to be as metallic and linear as the design? All this label makes me think of is licking batteries.
Granted, if this landed in Bulgaria leaving two burning strips of earth in its wake, it’d be mistaken for a UFO. But as a bottle of wine on the Grogger table, I’m afraid it’s back to the pewter.
