10 Weird and Wacky Wine Brand Names

Posted: 02 Aug 2009 06:45 AM PDT

Fat Bastard : We are sure you have heard and seen Fat Bastard on the shelves at liquor stores. The name came in existence when Guy Anderson was visiting the French Winemaker, Thierry. They planned on starting a new brand and when Thierry got the taste of a particularly good chardonnay he said to Guy "Taste zis fat bastard" and that's how the wine got the name Fat Bastard.



Utter Bastard : Fat Bastard needed a friend and so the Utter Bastard was born. The product naming was easier this time. They simply chose to call it Utter Bastard to keep the brand going. Utter Bastard is a red Syrah wine.


Vampire : That's right. This wine is called the vampire wine that is produced by Vampire Vineyards company. The old lables on the wine showed blood dripping and everything else that would relate to vampires but it seems like they have taken a less gore approach these days.


Red : The name of this wine is Red. Everything that is associated with it is red but the wine itself. The bottle, label and even the cork of this wine is red but the wine itself is white. It sounds a little odd when you say "let's have red wine" but end up pouring white wine.


Eye Of The Toad : That's what the wine is called. This product is a result of two friends who loved wine and were bored out of their mind after they were retired. They decided to start a wine company. The name of the wine comes from their nick name as the two friends were known as Dr. Toad and The Dancing Badger. You can see the toad and the badger enjoying a drink on the label.


Marilyn Merlot : Fan of Marilyn Monroe? This should make you happy. The image is licensed to Nova Wines by Marilyn Monroe's estate and each vintage features a different image of Marilyn Monroe and a unique label design.



Frog's Piss : "Why don't you come over to my place? We'll have some frog's piss and relax." Imagine saying that to someone. This French wine is known as Frog's Piss for some unknown reason.


Blasted Church : This wine is a product of the Blasted Church Vineyards. Blasted Church is a small estate winery located in Okanagan Falls in Canada. We have yet to try this wine but the name certainly generates curiosity as to why it is called Blasted Church. If you would like to find out why it is called what it is called, click here to read the story.



Mad Housewife : What can calm a mad housewife down? The Mad Housewife Wine. This wine has taken a different approach in marketing by catering to women and have appropriately named their product Mad Housewife Wine. Their tagline : what's domestic bliss without a little wine? 




Goats Do Roam : The name of this South African wine was inspired by the owner's son. The son once let the goats out of the enclosure to let them wildly roam around the vineyards. While the goats were having fun in the vineyards they chose to eat the best fruits. The varieties these goats chose to eat became the blend for a fine wine and the brand got the name "Goats Do Roam."
