DEU - Black Tower Sparkles

It is with a deep level of regret that we announce that Black Tower, that bloody awful paint thinner the germans somehow made popular in the 70's, has announced it's new product - sparkling wine.

In a can.

Oh. My. God. 

We had hoped that market forces had sorted out the future of this god awful product, but we wuz wronged. Described as "deliciously fresh and full of fruit flavours of pineapple and mango", this 200 ml can is aimed squarely at younger drinkers, surely code for 'cheap university students who just want to get hammered and not do any work'.

It is conveniently packaged in 24 can trays.

According to the MD, Black Tower has been re-invented from it's Liebfraumilch craze of the 70's.

Looks like the same poorly made drop of the old 'falling down' that it always was.
