‘Bama Bible Bangers Blow Tops Over “Porn” Wine Label

The ‘Bama Taliban still rule down in the Bible Belt. But what can you say about folks whose idea of erotic vibration comes from a chain saw?

The whole turgid tale is told by Bill Leigon, President of Hahn Family Wines which produces Cycles Gladiator Wines. Leigon said that the wines, ” available to consumers in Alabama for three years, have been banned from restaurants and retail establishments this week by the Alabama Beverage Control Board which has deemed the wine brand label as “pornographic.” Cycles Gladiator Wines has complied and wine distributors across Alabama have been forced to remove the wine from accounts.

Leigon notes that the Cycles Gladiator label “bears a replica of an antique French poster created in 1895 to advertise bicycles. It features an artistic rendition of a nude woman flying alongside a bicycle across a star-filled night sky.”

“To say that this wine label is pornographic is ridiculous,” Leigon said, “It’s a classic piece of art from the late 1800s and originals are sold for as much as $50,000.” The winery has decided to pull the brand from Alabama rather than revise the label. “It’s not a pornographic label, we are not going to change it, we are going to withdraw from the state and it’s a shame that the citizens of Alabama are going to lose the opportunity to enjoy our delicious wines.”
