Thread: Halloween Themed Wines?

Tweet

Greetings!

Do you know of any good Halloween-type wines?

I know that Meijer (a regional grocery store) carries some.

OH! A topic I know all too well. First off, I LOVE wine. I especially LOVE red wine.

During Halloween time they have this one called Vampire - it's sold at a small chain grocery store called Henry's but I'm sure it's sold elsewhere.

Year round, they have a brand called Twisted. Not Halloween related per se, but the bottles have a twisted looking tree on the front. They come in different flavors so if you get the orange or red colored labels, they look more Halloweenish.

See attached photos I pulled up on the internet.

And, I googled and found these which look cool but I have never seen them in the stores.

last year there was Vampire and Zombie wine. All year round they sell Seven Deadly Zins

There's another wine called Gnarly Head.....awesome bottle and the wine is delish! The bottle has a gnarled, fall looking tree. Very cool!

Target has several! Some year round... and then more at Halloween. I know they carry the Gnarly Head one and then... Raven something and Ghost something and more. I hate wine but I've always wanted those for the bottles!

Did you say Target?!?! Where are you from? I'm from PA and our Targets here don't sell wine....or any alcohol actually. Our Wegman's (food store) recently started selling beer and wine by the glass. That's really pushing it for conservative PA. I believe the state needs to pull it's head out of it's butt and get with the times!!!

I'm in Dallas, TX and now that I think about it... the Target where I used to live... much much smaller town... didn't have wine. Its probably just the Super Targets.

I am not a wine snob by any means (sure I can appreciate an expensive bottle of wine on special occassions but I tend toward tasty cheap wines as a rule) and I unfortunately don't care for Vampire wine. I do however have some on hand for our parties...I just cant resist the bottle/label! I think if taste is important to you you might be better off with one of the others mentioned above or just making fun labels for existing wines.....in fact that makes me start wondering about fun labels for wine. Creepy Cabernet....Maggot Merlot.....hmm.

The Non-Super-Targets in my area didn't get wine until they did the "remove the garden section and turn it into a grocery section" remodel. It's been done for about 6 months to a year in my area, but I figure they're still working on it in other places.

Super Target is fun but it's way way too big. I used to complain about Walmart Supercenters being so big that if you forget something you may as well just get it the next time around. Super Target adds a whole new level of "I need a golf cart to get through the store!".

Witchful Thinking - I'm with you! Although I love wine, I prefer the cheaper wines too (and so does my pocketbook!)

All of the regular Targets here in Southern California sell wine.
