Kids Spoil Ratatouille Drinking Fun

August 4th, 2007 2:03 AM

Apparently, there was supposed to be a Ratatouille wine, which was to be a 2004 Chardonnay. Unfortunately, the product was canned after some annoying opponents of underage complained to Disney.

As Carlos Mencia would say, this is dee-dee-dee. It’s not like small children are going to be clamoring over wine with a rat on the label. Besides, our view of drinking wine is rather unenlightened in this country, and with Ratatouille’s French bent, it’d be nice if some of their attitudes rubbed off on us here. Then again, I suppose if Big Tobacco can’t use a cartoon camel, then I guess Big Alcohol can’t use a cartoon rat either.
