For medicinal purposes only?
If you are someone who loses sleep wondering what a drug label would look like for wine, rest easy.The label was intended to parody the EU rules.The Tuscan-based wine-lovers site, www.winenews.it, has created a pitch-perfect parody of a wine label modeled on a drug insert, complete with therapeutic indications, dosage, interactions and side effects.
"Oral pleasure activator," it begins in Italian. "The product, if taken in recommended doses, has hilarious, introspective and evocative effects; reduces inhibitions and loosens control. Can make the world appear more beautiful and inspire dreams, poetry and visions."
...
"It's not completely a joke," he told Reuters. "It's a provocation that's designed to make you think."
It is also designed to make you laugh, with or without the aid of an oral pleasure activator.
"Recommended adult daily dosage," for instance, is 33 cl. per day to be taken twice at main meals.
Dosage depends not just on body weight and absorption capacity, but the occasion for use. Dinner with friends or special days allow for a slight -- if well-considered -- increase.
Not surprisingly, wine "alters the capacity to drive and use machinery" and interacts "effectively and positively" with lasagna, Tuscan prosciutto, baked lamb, aged sheep's cheese, among other Italian delicacies.
...
Actually Shakespeare had his own revelation on wines releasing of inhibitions--"It giveth the desire, but takes from the performance." That seems to argue against Jimmy Buffet's rather crude, Why don't we get drunk and screw.
