Bad Wine #14

Freakshow Wine is Bad Wine #14

I am not an advocate of buying labels and gimmicks instead of wine. That is why Freakshow wine is Bad Wine #14. Also, I am really not an advocate of gimmicks. And, Freakshow is not a word. In addition, these are human beings, not freaks. Do not try and sell me on labels and gimmicks. Sell me your wine. They have a chardonnay, a cabernet, a zinfandel and a red wine. How original! Just because chardonnay makes great wines in Napa and Sonoma, does not mean it makes good wine anywhere. Freakshow is from Lodi where some fabulous wines are made. Ravenswood zinfandel comes to mind. Also, I can foresee trouble when a wine is named “red wine.” At least call it red blend or put the grape varieties on the front so I know what is in the bottle.

The Gimmick

Similar to 19 Crimes wines which earned the honor of Bad Wine #7, Freakshow creates an app where you can superimpose various masks on your face. Then, you make videos of your new face. It is fun for about five minutes. Download the app if you are bored. Unlike 19 Crimes, you do not need to have the bottle to use the app. That is stupid on their part. Also, they make canned wine which is Bad Wine #9. Do NOT buy this wine. You can do a lot better with your $15-$25 for this over priced gimmick.
