Wine So Good You'll Feed It To A Horse

The Cantonese restaurant where we were dining was heavily promoting this wine.

XLV Wine

It's on the menu for a hefty HK$980 (S$170) a bottle, or HK$200 (S$34) a glass. The brochures on the table were emblazoned with the letters "XLV", which kept me guessing for the entire meal as to their meaning. What number in roman numerals is that ?

They stand for Xavier-Louis Vuitton, who's supposedly a 5th generation descendant of Louis Vuitton, the founder of the French luxury label.

I Googled the name but strangely, found only a couple of sites in Japanese that featured the wine. And we know how crazy the Japanese are about anything with the LV monogram.

Well, go figure.

That is probably one of the oddest posters ever. And the caption below? Horse sniffing wine + white guy tilting wine glass towards horse = instant heritage.

Did I missed anything? Why should a great wine feed to a horse? I don't get it.
