For those of us with younger children we are used to getting the product pushes for each and every movie that comes out. Products arrive before the movie is even released, causing children to beg for toys depicting characters they know nothing about. They arrive in our kids' meals, in the stores, on candy wrappers and other food goods. But this is crossing the line. Aren't parents accosted enough without Disney spoiling our alcohol consumption as well? The sad part is that it's probably quite a nice wine and will sell well, heck I might even want to try a bottle for kicks. To the marketing geniuses at Disney I salute you, but please don't make me toast you. Leave mom's wine out of it. Seriously?
