The Forbidden (spoiled) Fruit (juice) Sells

The Forbidden (spoiled) Fruit (juice) Sells

Nothing is so irresistable as the forbidden. Alessandro Lunardelli has made a name for himself by selling unremarkable wine with remarkable labels. His bottles portray mass murderers.

In 1995, he was sued and threatened with jail in Italy for putting Benito Mussolini on his bottles. Since then, Stalin, Che Gueverra, Marx and most recently, Hitler have "graced" his wine."

Now people are upset over his latest portrait, Adolf Hitler. Belgium and Germany have both tried to ban the bottles. "It's strange that Stalin murdered 15 million people, but there is no fuss about the bottle. And for the labels with Hitler and Mussolini I ended up in court," said 41-year-old Lunardelli.

Strange indeed.
