'Pansy' wine launched for Aussie gays

From correspondents in Wellington
November 12, 2004

A NEW Zealand wine company will launch a new wine labelled Pansy targeted at Australia's gay community.

Kim Crawford Wines says the Sydney gay community drinks around $NZ4.5 million ($4.05m) worth of wine a month.

"Pansy is about friendship, kindness and generosity of the human spirit," company founder Erica Crawford said of her product.

Pansy was originally devised as a way of thanking gay friends in the hospitality industry, Crawford said.

"It's just been a bit of fun. It's actually a thank you to them, we have had great support from the gay community."

"a new wine labelled Pansy"

How about calling it "Soddomite Swill"?

Fruity, no doubt, with a lingering taste of the tan track.

"Send a case to John Edwards."

Add another case to Bill Frist after that candy ass installs Sphincter into the Chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee.

Perfect! Promiscuous poofters prefer "Pansy."

Here's a guide to other Australian wines courtesy of Monty Python:

A Guide to Australian Table Wines

A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palette, but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.

"Black Stump Bordeaux" is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good "Sydney Syrup" can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines.

"Chateau Bleu", too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.

"Old Smokey, 1968" has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian wino society thouroughly recommends a 1970 "Coq du Rod Laver", which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this, and you're really finished -- at the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is "Perth Pink". This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

Another good fighting wine is "Melbourne Old-and-Yellow", which is particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

Quite the reverse is true of "Chateau Chunder", which is an Appelachian controle, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Real emetic fans will also go for a "Hobart Muddy", and a prize winning "Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga", which has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit.

I have the feeling that the whole gay fad thing is starting to reverse.
