    I think the joke is this wine will get you too drunk to do math right

    Putting the shitty drunk math aside, what’s the significance of all of the numbers?

      Battle of Hastings 1066, birth of Charlemagne 748. Not sure on the other two, events don’t seem like they could be linked in the same way as far as years go but it could be something else.

        Maybe our resident historian, @[email protected], might have a clue?

      Wrongo is a 2020 red varietal that pairs well with fresh astrophysics.

    This is why you should make the label before drinking the wine

    They still haven’t “fixed” it btw. And my human meat brain is 99% certain it’s on purpose:
    18 - 5 = 12
    and
    264 * 3 = 782

    Bonus math problems.

      2nd one is 18-5 not 2. Looks like in the initial equation they forgot to carry the one, probably because it’d make the label look stupider than it already is.

        Whoops. Not that it mattered much as [@[email protected] pointed out, but thanks for correcting me nonetheless.

    I mean… 1066 was also the Battle of Hastings and the Norman conquest of England 🤷. Maybe it’s deep wine satire implying the French can’t count?

        Hey it’s wine satire. It doesn’t need to make sense.

        i suspect the explanation for the bad math is on the back.

    If you can’t even do basic math on the label, then how can I trust you to have not fucked up the actual product? I’ll stick to whiskey.
