A new product dubbed as sparkling “halal wine” has been reportedly released in Dubai featuring a 24-carat edible gold leaf to add a glittering effect.
The “Lussory” wine is said to be completely halal because it contains no alcohol, according to the UAE-based 7days newspaper.
“Lussory is a 100 percent halal product with 0.0 per cent alcohol content,” 7Days quoted Lootah Premium Foods as saying.
The grapes used to produce the Lussory halal wine came from the vineyards of La Mancha in Spain, the newspaper added.
The wine is “made in the exact same way as regular wine or champagne,” the food company added.
The company says there has been “great demand” for the halal wine.
“We have experienced great demand for first-class halal champagne from our consumers and clients, wishing to offer a premier experience at weddings, birthdays or corporate events,” said Tony Colley, general manager of Lootah Premium Foods.
24 carat edible gold in Dubai? Yah,I can believe that.During my visit there last winter I visited the Mall of Dubai,allegedly the biggest mall in the world.The valet parking area of the mall contained two Bugatis,several Maseratis and Ferraris and various Bentlys and Rolls Royces.Many of these vehicles sported Saudi plates (Dubai is the right-around-the-corner playground of rich Saudis).
Halal wine, or as we call it in America- “grape juice”.
Losers indeed.

Uhmmmmm.... No fermentation = not wine and you can’t call anything bubbly that doesn’t come from the champagne region of France.
Besides, are you guys really 2 year olds?
You can with wanton abandon and debase human life but, alcohol is a “no go”?
you are so retarded....
Why?
If the best thing about your “wine” is the little sparky bits of metal floating in it you are officially a loser.
