AC/DC Wine: Highway To Drunk

There are now so many wine-making celebrities that the topic has its own Wikipedia page, entitled "List of celebrities who own wineries or vineyards." So what's one more? There's even a "Drops of Jupiter" wine!

That -- or some close variation thereof -- must have been the substance of AC/DC's pitch meeting to Warburn Estate, the Australian winery the metal legends has contracted to produce an AC/DC-branded line of wines. (AC/DC is also from Australia.) Apparently, different varietals will carry the names of different AC/DC hits: "Highway to Hell" Cabernet Sauvignon, "You Shook Me All Night Long" Moscato, "Hells Bells" Sauvignon Blanc.

At least wine dovetails somewhat cleanly with AC/DC's rock and roll roots. The same cannot be said of all the products that are marketed under the band's name ... AC/DC Monopoly, anyone?

Apparently the AC/DC Cabernet goes well with an Angus burger.

Shark jumped...

And BTW, isn't it a bit rude to go into the alocholic beverage business when their late great lead singer died from inhalation of vomit due to intoxication?

I'm guessing the wine will have few subtle notes ...

Ah.... all these non-fans posting bad puns! Any half-arsed knowledgeable fan knows the band already has it covered - "Have A Drink On Me" from Back in Black (1980).
The real news is that the band were incredible souses back in the day. In fact, overconsumption led to the death of their classic singer Bon Scott. Their drummer had to take a decade off a few years later after too much indulgence. And Malcolm Young the rhythm guitarist was replaced for the latter half of their 1988 tour due to alcoholism.
