My Favourite WIne Commercials!

Guess what, my little champagne bubbles? It's nostalgia time!

I've had the Hochtaler lady song stuck in my head for a few days now (yes, I'm a child of the 80's). Remember the Hochtaler lady?



She was pretty hot, but what about that Spumante Bambino lady? She's charming in her chiffon, but it's the pianist--no, that moustache--who is the real star. RWOR!




Those were the most memorable examples from my 80's childhood, but what of earlier decades? Let's turn back the time machine a little further, and enjoy this wine commercial from the 50's. I always love it when Marie Antoinette comes to Thanksgiving:



Moving up a decade, the 60's were clearly a time of invention. Apparently the Gallo family created something called 'Pink Chablis'. I'm pretty sure they've made a deal with the devil, because if any other winery tried this kind of fuckery, they'd dry up faster than a fallen grape in the sun:



Were people not drinking wine in the 70's? I can't find much in the way of wine commercials for this decade, but I did find this commercial for something called 'Thunderbird'. I have no idea what it is, but it makes me want to get down!!




Scooting back up to the 80's, remember Riunite? It's a wine rainbow! And I'm staggered by their GENIUS marketing slogan 'Riunite is nice'. Brilliant!



And finally, if these vintage commercials have caused you to go on a bender, watch this LLBO PSA from the 80's, and decide whether you're acting as badly as the dad in this commercial:



'Til next time,
