d’Arenberg accused of sexism over wine label

A POPULAR South Australian winery has been accused of sexism over a new label that refers to “three young blondes”, but the winemaker says it’s just humorous marketing. d’Arenberg’s new $200 red, “The Old Bloke and the Three Young Blondes”, takes its name from a blend of grapes from old shiraz vines with those of three younger white varieties, but leading wine commentator Jane Thomson says this is an example of “everyday sexism”.
