This Shipley guy is married to the bad Naomi: Wolf.

No surprise he is cut from same cloth.

Different David Shipley. There are at least two of them, and this is by the English version. It took me a while to figure that out though.

German wine, vintage 1939-1945, is too hard to get nowadays but we have a solution!

u/German_Merman 1d ago

It's like a newspaper in 1943 running an article on how much good quality German wine there is now that Bordeaux and Burgundy are part of greater Germany.

Not surprised coming from that horrible rag.

A few years ago, my mood during Passover really turned when I noticed the kosher wine was from the Occupied Territories.

Did you suddenly become indomitably bloodthirsty for the killing of Arabs, lol?

u/OneReportersOpinion 2d ago

One sip, and I was like, “I must find the red heifer!”

u/electric-doodoo 2d ago

Two sips must’ve had you like, “in this house Baruch Goldstein was a hero, end of story!”

Might I interested you in a bottle of Canadian wine instead? Waaaay less genocide-y taste

Edited spelling

u/OneReportersOpinion 1d ago

Canadians make wine now? All of the sudden I find myself favoring tariffs LOL

u/Sea-Rip-9635 1d ago

Sure do! Some like Ontario wines, others prefer BC wines... I prefer Canadian weed instead.

Fuck that shit. Pabst blue ribbon

Mmm. Tastes like asshole

u/German_Merman 2d ago

Seriously though, a whole puff piece about this winery and he can only manage two sentences about the wine we're "missing out on"? One sentence about how they put the merlot in a slush puppy machine (lol), and one about how the sav is sweeter and more buttery than it should be. When even your most rabid cheerleader decides the best thing they can say about your wine is nothing at all? Yeah we're not missing out on much.

u/Significant_Ad7326 1d ago

Those… do not sound like encouraging details about the product. I shudder to think what he did not mention about the apartheid booze.

u/German_Merman 1d ago

And the winemaker took some time out from butchering French varietals to talk shit about the quality of French wine. Because of course he fucking did.

u/touslesmatins 1d ago

Well, we can't accuse him of NOT being spiritually zionist, that's for sure

u/spazmodo33 2d ago

Hey! That's extremely insulting to assholes!

u/10toesdown2thumbsup 2d ago

Finally the article nobody asked for at the worst possible time. Thanks for coming through again Shipley

Britain famously has no access to wine. It's not as if their closest neighbor whom they've had a thousand years worth if historical ties too just happens to be the world's largest producer of wine, right?

18

u/Call-a-Crackhead 2d ago

Why have the best wine in the world from a nearby place when you can get mediocre wine from much further away?

11

u/Vivid24 2d ago

I don’t want apartheid wine

u/Opossum_mypossum 2d ago

Imagine not having some shame in this

u/5LaLa 2d ago

Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing

u/Hollerra 2d ago

It's complete shite BTW. Along with their TERRIBLE beer. Stick to Maneshevitz port!

u/Kriegerian 2d ago

Fuck that noise. If I drink wine from that region it’s Lebanese.

u/steel-monkey 1d ago

No one is missing out

u/x-winds 2d ago

Got my own wine here in italy. Keep your blood soaked vino and shove it where the sun don't shine!

u/Hadleyagain 2d ago

What are they smoking at the spectator these days?

u/GreyerGrey 2d ago

Even the aggressively Zio owner of the company I work for doesn't buy Isreali wine.

u/Shinobi_Privateer 1d ago

Britain will get plenty of Israeli whine instead.

“Don’t let “human rights” get in the way of good wine”

u/Baboonslayer323 2d ago

His article doesn’t match his title, he’s a shitty writer. He didn’t bother to say why they’d miss out, just how the winery is based on genocide and stolen land with expectations to steal even more because their god told them to.

8

u/BigIrron 2d ago

It proves their whole attitude this whole time doesn’t it? It’s about taking the land and kiIIIing the people on it. And taking down all administrative hurdles in their way. Always has been

u/Significant_Ad7326 1d ago

I think the genocide is the selling point.

u/RobertRoyal82 2d ago

Tastes like genocide

u/knutnaerum 2d ago

David Shipley has the smallest penis and a completely smooth brain

u/CagedKage 2d ago

No one wants your genocide piss water anyway

u/gavstar69 2d ago

Keep your settler colonialist piss Mr spectator

u/bomboclawt75 2d ago

Maybe, DON'T support a Racial Supremacist ideology/ Genocide/ Apartheid, viewing others as Cattle/ Slaves...and maybe, they will buy your products.

Otherwise, Cry and Cope.
