Stores around Washington selling out of Trump Wine
The Hill ^ | 02/15/17 | Judy Kurtz

There’s a run on Trump Wine, with stores in the Washington region selling out of bottles bearing the president’s name.

Mike Mackie, co-owner of The Wine Cabinet in Reston, Va., says the brand is flying off his store shelves quicker than he can restock it for multiple reasons.

Snowflake Whine.

For people who never get tired of whining. All our whines come exclusively from California, Washington, New York and Illinois. Below is a partial list of our selection

1. Naughty Russian, with хяк дела (a/k/a "hacker")grapes grown with computerized high-tec breeding techniques in the sunny Crimea, but fermented and bottled in California, this fruity whine is a favorite of legendary movie producer Michael Moore

2. Syrian Shriek, a recent overnight sensation. The grapes were fertilized with selectively excerpted executive orders and tons of bull-sh!t. More and more bottles keep making the way to whine shops, despite warnings from the FDA and BATF that the sparkling effervescence that characterizes this wine results from the explosive pressure under which it is bottled. The Shriek Corporation fervently denies that anyone has yet been killed by their product.

3. Snowflake Riot, the only whine that is kept at boiling point until it is opened. Bus-loads of this whine keep showing up all over the country. Its bizzarre logo, a picture of the bottle with a burning rag in it, is attracting ever-increasing buyers.

4. MAGA-hat Contusion. This whine was specially fermented so that its color matches exactly the color of human blood on a MAGA hat.

5. Soros' Favorite. This peculiar whine gets its even more peculiar name by virtue of its bizarre label, which shows billionaire George Soros rubbing his hands together and smiling evilly. Even more strange is the fact that when you pick it up and bring to the cash register, the label becomes animated. The hands move. I swear I've seen it! The whine, parenthetically, is horrible.

I’m certain he has experts who can determine the quality.

Meritage was an attempt to market NAPA valley wines, basically the same as a Bordeaux blend, grown in California. That would mean mostly Cabernet and merlot, with a little petit verdot, cab franc, etc blended in.

Re the fact that Trump never consumes alcohol so how does he know if it is any good.

Let’s try these scenarios and see what sticks.

* He has a professional wine-taster employed at the vineyards. (French wine taster/master crime show on WETAUK/2, “Blood from the Vines”. You’ll learn a lot about the winemaking industry.
* Someone else in the family drinks wine. Make it Kosher and the Kushners can drink it for holidays.
* People buy it, they like it, and they say so, as well as come back for more.

Wegmans has been getting from leftist attacks demanding that they stop selling Trump wines. Wegman countered politely that they keep a product by how well it sells, and Trump wines sell well.

I just they had put up a sign that says, “No Liberal Fascists Allowed in the Store Unless on a Lease”.

No. 18. A new sales promotion slogan, “Trump Mertiage Wine. The Drink of Presidential Winners”.

“Bear Whiz Beer, the Drink of Democrat Losers”.

To #21. For the Democrat’s wines, re “which grape or grapes are used”, it is SOUR GRAPES, of course.

The Dems are a whiny bunch anyway.

There is a beautiful story behind the reason he sells it. Research it and you will read a heartwarming tale.

Here's why Trump wines are selling out:

Grocer faces boycott over Trump wines

Call it the "Chik-Fil-A" effect...

I,for one,think all this recent stuff is damn silly.Department stores dropping a "Trump" product because they got a few dozen spambot e-mails is disgusting.Buying a wine because it has the name Trump on it? Silly.

DJT is the President of the United States.He's got a damn serious task ahead of him and everybody...including Donald himself...needs to focus on that job.And as far as the Rats and their hissy fit is concerned all I can say is:

algore came within 500 votes of winning the one big state he needed for victory.OK,he made a fuss.But a 500 vote margin in a state with 6 million voters is pretty damn close.Your pig,ILLary,couldn't come within 10,000 votes of carrying any of the three medium-sized to large states she needed to win.
