I'm sorry, but the Australian wine industry should sue Monty Python for
their brilliant skit on Australian wines, parts of which follow:

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is "Perth Pink". This is a bottle
with a message in it, and the message is BEWARE! This is not a wine for
drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

Another good fighting wine is "Melbourne Old-and-Yellow", which is
particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

Quite the reverse is true of "Chateau Chunder", which is an appellation
controle specially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine
which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Real emetic fans will also go for a "Hobart Muddy", and a prize winning
"Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit St.-Wogga Wogga", which has a bouquet
like an aborigine's armpit.
