This has Christina Lurie written all over it.
What is the perfect way to get Eagles fans up for a game so they can be at full-throat and ready to rock The Linc with barbaric chants and a deafening roar to throw off teams that dare to enter?
Cabernet Sauvignon.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the newest addition to the Eagles online store: Rollout Eagles 2011 California Cabernet Sauvignon.
The description, because nothing says a football team’s commitment to its city like a bottle of cheap wine:
To celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Philadelphia Eagles and commemorate the strong commitment to the city and its fans, the team has created “Rollout”, a limited edition Cabernet Sauvignon. Rollout was crafted by winemaker Sam Spencer exclusively for the Eagles.
The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is lavishly constructed with exotic aromatics, a harmonious blend of grapes from areas of California.
Rollout is available in Philadelphia state stores and New Jersey liquor outlets.
A harmonious blends of grapes from areas of California… available exclusively in Pennsylvania and South Jersey.* Pure class. This is really gonna speak to the hardcore Eagles fan. E-A-G-L-E-S! FUCK ‘EM UP!
Gotta give them credit for the label, though. I mean, it’s an Eagle eating grapes!
Brilliant.
I already found perfect use for it…
*They link to an online order page, but, oops, you can’t ship wine to PA.
