i know this is random, but at my local trader joes they have a new wine called babble, and the label has Mr. Tenniel's illustration from the chapter a caucus race and a long tale with the mouse talking to all the animals (and alice). but he's holding a wine glass and bottle, and alice is not in the picture!

your thoughts? AIW Shocked

Someone gave me an empty bottle and it's sitting in my bedroom with fake roses in it! I think they substituted the Gryphon for Alice because people might not see it as appropriate to put a little girl on wine or maybe to prevent children from thinking it's for them to drink....I don't know, just some thoughts.

If I was cleverer, I'd make a joke about that bit where the hare says "Have some wine" even though there isn't any. Uhmm

I was thinking about that quote when I filled my bottle with the fake flowers. It adds to the duality of it being a Wonderland themed decoration; red roses for the Queen and no wine:-)
