This wine, which I have bought for a long time under its original name is now being (admittedly partially) relabelled with a hideous name which I can only assume comes from an obvious, though irritating, nickname.

AIBU and snobbish to instantly think less of a wine I have bought (and enjoyed) often in the past?

What’s the name?
I don’t think it would bother me as long as the wine is the same nice drink 🍷

ANightingaleSang · 08/10/2024 18:59

Well, yes, you are rather. Decant it into a carafe if it bothers you :)

Changingplace · 08/10/2024 18:59

What brand is it? No I don’t think this would bother me as long as it tasted the same.

Did you mean to attach a photo or something?

Weird things impact our preferences
Food eaten with a posh heavy metal for,k thin metal, plastic and bamboo fork all make the meal / eating experience difference with blindfolded participants in the experiment favouring the food eaten with the heavy metal fork despite it being food from the same bowl.

Similarly our brains struggle to eat things that are the wrong colour as they can't work out the flavour IE green strawberry ice cream or pink lemon ice cream but blindfolded participants could tell immediately.

For you it's the name of the wine. A rosé by any other name may not taste as sweet 😉

It's Nonne Bleue init? 😇

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 08/10/2024 19:03

I don't know why the picture won't attach! It's the rather delicious 'La Vielle Ferme Rosé' which is now being sold with labels calling it 'The Chicken Wine'. I was rather nonplussed when I saw it...

I got a bottle of wine years ago whilst in Florida. Which was called You fat bastard.

I don’t think they’ve actually renamed it have they? It’s just a marketing stunt because for some reason TikTok has renamed it “the chicken wine”.

Oh, I do hope so...
