New York state of wine
With the sale of wine prohibited in grocery (aka “food”) stores, this is what we’re left with at the A&P, etc. Mmm, “wine product.”

How does a “Wine Product” differ from a wine? Is that like ice cream made from “Milk Solids”, or “Processed Cheese Food”?

I didn’t get close enough to find out–next time.
maybe I’ll even buy one. Nah.
wonder who does buy it? “honey, get some chicken and a little wine product” just doesn’t roll off the tongue.

I like this very much.
From what I could gather, the ‘wine product’ world is a sketchy one. It’s only a couple pages into a google search for chateau diana that you get to those bizarre eastern european spam urls that are made up entirely of random consonants and numbers.
And from what I read, the only people who buy it, apparently, are luckless folks who picked up the bottle on the way to their wine aficionado in-laws for dinner only to be embarassed by the low-alcohol and watery taste.
According to the website for Chateau Diana, however, “At 6% alcohol and with a sweetish finish, these wines have great mass appeal.” But, the appeal doesn’t stop there! “The additional benefits of a lowered alcohol wine are the versatility in product placement.”
Thank you for brining this to my attention – I write a wine adventure column at mcsweeneys.net and on my weblog Stained Teeth (http://www.mystainedteeth.com); and I think the world needs more information about ‘wine product.’ I will let you know how it goes and link back here.

Matthew,
Thanks for your further research into the mysterious world of cabernet “wine products”! Such products should have to think of a new name altogether and leave wine out of it! “grape derived drink”?
