| Muselet on Kim Crawford FIZZ bottle |
It reads: "WARNING CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE! See back label for more information."
What the fuck?
This world of namby-pamby millennials is just getting worse compounded by the overuse of litigation when anything small happens especially in the USA. No surprises then to see that this product is produced for the North American market (Fizz is the nickname of Constellation NZ's Felicity who has overseen shipping logistics to USA and Canada for many years) and the back label is in dual language- English and French.
Where and when will this coddling stop? One assumes that the purchaser of this product had a fair idea that it was a sparkling wine.
It is in a sparkling wine bottle. It has a foil cap and a muselet to hold in the sparkling wine cork. The label clearly states that the wine is Methode Traditionelle.
The back label also states:
- Sparkling wine /Vin mousseux
- When opening point away from body/Bien tenir le bouchon au moment de l'ouverture
OK. That's enough overkill.
Another overkill in wine label regulations for USA is:
GOVERNMENT WARNING: (1) According to the Surgeon General, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects. (2) Consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery, and may cause health problems.
