Winery labels drink for political parties

Loren Shanle, owner of Walnut Street Winery in Rochester, said he is selling the same wine with two different labels, GOP and DEM, respectively featuring a cartoon elephant or donkey, The Springfield State Journal-Register reported Wednesday.
He said GOP has a double meaning of "grapes only party" while DEM also stands for "delicious every moment."

Shanle said the wine is a pink grapefruit blush with "natural fruit flavors, distinct aromas and grape characters, enhanced with a tangy blast of natural pink grapefruit."

"Our sales for GOP," he said, "are a little more than DEM."
