Adding flavorings of any sort to beer or wine is somehow profoundly wrong. Sorry Greece and trendy American microbrewers.

Life is too short to drink bad wine and this certainly fills the bill and I am a chocoholic!!!

I'm not quite as tough on "bad" wine as you, traveler63 - obviously nobody wants to drink bad anything but I've happily enjoyed simple peasant wines. I have uncles who make them.
The very idea of this stuff is utterly ghastly.

Innovation sometimes requires some radical experimentation. They just should not advertise it when some people are sitting down to eat.

There is a part of me which would be willing to give wine infused with chocolate a tentative try. I mean, it could work, right? Think: a deep red wine with oak tones and a subtle something that makes you think chocolate more than actually taste it ... there might be a market for it.
It's the "creamy" in the description that is so gag-inducing.

Sounds foul.
I note that it is 14% alcohol. Few wines reach that - certainly not "fine French cabernet". How they reach that alcoholic strength when they have added all that cream and chocolate is not explained.

On second thought, it could pair nicely with a mole. Not!
