If ever there were two things that would be near impossible to improve upon, it would be wine and chocolate.
But what if you mixed both?
I want to live in that world, I hear you say. Well now you can.
You can also live in a world of wine flavoured lip gloss, wine scented toilet paper, wine booze pops, a wine ice-cream and a wine theme park!
I am not even joking, guys. All these things exist and we have spent the year writing about them (among other things, of course)
