French winemakers bring lovers together one bottle at a time
This is either marketing brilliance or desperation or — a little bit of both.
Some French winemakers are using their wines as a gateway to online dating, according to MSNBC.com.
Here’s a slice of the scoop d’amour:
A French winemaker is trying to help people find romance with a new vintage that links them up with a special online dating site. The “Soif de Coeur” (A Thirst for Romance) bottles of rosé, red or white wine contain a unique code in their labels that you tap into the Web site in the hope of finding your perfect match.
Check out the 80-year-old dude who signed up. And who is MSNBC calling a “geezer,” anyway?
Thanks and cheers!

Maybe the geezer could use the sippy cup from part two of the article, and then retire to part three of the article. Strange combination there.
