A bottle of wine called "Celine Dion" ?

QUÉBEC - Un vin Céline Dion ou Madonna?

Verra-t-on bientôt des bouteilles de vin à l’effigie de Céline Dion ou de Madonna sur les tablettes de la Société des alcools du Québec? Tout porte à croire que oui, puisque, comme le rapporte le site Internet RueFrontenac.com, la société d’État vient de lancer un appel d’offres pour mettre en marché des vins et des spiritueux reliés à une célébrité.

 

L’appel d’offres, publié le 22 janvier, recherche des vins de tout type, dont le nom doit être rattaché à une célébrité de grande notoriété au Québec ou à l’international. Les nouveaux vins pourraient faire leur apparition sur les tablettes en novembre prochain, juste avant la période des Fêtes.

 

Il semble que les clients de la SAQ soient particulièrement friands des produits associés à une vedette. La société d’État compte déjà, parmi ses produits, des vins de Gérard Depardieu, de Francis Cabrel, de Wayne Gretzky et même des Rolling Stones. La SAQ confirme avoir vendu 7327 bouteilles, à 45 dollars chacune, du Satisfaction Rolling Stones Napa Valley Californie depuis 2005.

 

Autant les experts que la SAQ s’entendent toutefois pour dire que le nom associé au produit n’est pas nécessairement un gage de qualité de celui-ci et qu’il faut aller au-delà du simple nom.

HAHAHAA well that's a good Idea! Now all we need is a pop to be named after her and we'll have every basic beverage you need, Wine and Water.

hey thats pretty cool

[oldgrandma]

[Celininha17]

I had to translate to read. I'd looove to have one!!!!

Here it is:

 

-Will be ready soon bottles of wine bearing the image of Celine Dion or Madonna on the shelves of the liquor in Quebec? All indications are that yes, since, as reported by the website RueFrontenac.com, the Crown corporation has launched a tender to market wines and spirits associated with a celebrity.

 

The solicitation, issued January 22, search for wines of all types, whose name must be attached to a high-profile celebrity in Quebec or abroad. The new wine could appear on the shelves in November, just before the holiday season.

 

It seems that the SAQ customers are particularly fond of products associated with a star. The Crown corporation already has, among its products, wines of Gérard Depardieu, Francis Cabrel, Wayne Gretzky and even the Rolling Stones. The SAQ confirms having sold 7327 bottles at $ 45 each, the Rolling Stones Satisfaction Napa Valley, California since 2005.

 

Both experts agree that the SAQ, however, to say the name associated with the product is not necessarily a guarantee of quality to it, and it must go beyond simple name.
