At the renowned Fastueux Wine Tasting, in Plaisanterie, France, this American standard was named the world's best wine.

Dateline: 1 April 2004

Wine experts from around the world gathered at the Chateau âne de coup-de-pied to sample the world's best wines. After a tough competition, it was declared that America's Boone's Farm Strawberry Wine was the best wine. Eonoligist Ralph Barfer declared that, We also found it to be one of those rare, all-purpose wines that goes well with almost anything, and is also appropriate for melting ice on your driveway in January.

The judges commented that the brown paper bags saved a great deal of time in the blind tastings.
