Although I've never been to Alabama and have zero desire to go I'm sure there are a few sensible people in the state. This, however, is one of the dumbest things I've seen in awhile.
From NBC LA...
A wine label showing a nude nymph is too much for Alabama's liquor control agency, which has told restaurants and stores not to sell the product.
The label on Cycles Gladiator wine, produced by Hahn Family Wines in Soledad, Calif., shows a vintage 1895 advertising poster for Cycles Gladiator bicycles. The French poster features a nude nymph flying beside a winged bicycle.
Bob Martin, staff attorney for the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, said the board's license bureau rejected the label last year as inappropriate for sale in the state. Early this month, a citizen sent a bottle of the wine to the board's enforcement bureau to show it was being sold in stores, he said.
Alabama's liquor regulations prohibit labels with "a person posed in an immoral or sensuous manner," Martin said.
