Premier Estates Wine, a British importer, has decided to recycle a very old sight gag to get publicity for its products. With the tagline "#tastethebush, they've taken to Twitter and YouTube:
They call it "the brand’s playful, tongue-in-cheek tone that’s born from classic British humour." I call it a bad pun.
But hey, here's your attention:
No energy for outrage But the #tastethebush thing just makes me sad for all the oz winemakers working to improve the image of their wine

I tend to agree with the complaint about Australian wines. Monty Python once compared the bouquet of one to an armpit (with regrettable racism). It makes you wonder why a UK wine seller wants to compare the taste of their Shiraz to the great down under.
