Aug 2, 2008 2:43 pm US/CentralCustom Wines For GOP Convention Coming This Week
ST. PAUL (AP) ? Some local hotels, restaurants and liquor stores will have something special for the Republican National Convention: Custom-labeled wine commemorating the event.
St. Paul-based marketer Giraffrican Mix says there will be two labels.
"Balance" highlights the importance of environmental issues in this year's campaign, showing an elephant balancing over a globe and including the convention's St. Paul location and September 1st through 4th dates.
The higher-end President's Select label includes an eagle and a flag. It says "Have a great convention" and "2008-2012," the years between the current presidential election and the next one.
The wines become available starting this week. Proceeds go toward building universities in Africa.
