Great marketing attempt with the relabeled bottles! 
Guys, VOSSEN isn't branching off into becoming a vintner, yet simply driving new vanes of advertising while staying classy.

I think the idea is pretty unique. Its different than promoting your business on T-shirts, or business cards.. Cool idea.. Its time to venture out of the box..

I, as a vendor, think it is catchy, but not as classy as one may think. Like Joe Camel to cigarettes (to youngsters) this is to drivers the same way. How can you use alcohol to promote a wheel company. To me, it is advertising liquor to potentially responsible drivers.
Don't hate me, but it just leave a sour taste.

Good point.
Cars and alcohol don't mix.
There are a million things Vossem can use to cross-sell their wheels. It doesn't feel right to use an alcohol product.

I don't think they seriously aspire to be wine purveyors, however it is a cool novelty. Sort of like hats or T-shirts, just done in a different way.
Reggie, that grease comment was funny as hell. lol

I have to agree that it is a cool novelty. Kind of like Ferrari cologne. ( not the cheap $60 a bottle crap, but the $158 dodiccicilinri(12 cylinders) Ferrai cologne)
