Forget about milk with your cookies: how about wine?

As if the wine industry doesn’t have enough gimmicks to get people to drink more wine, along comes Barefoot Wine to team up with Nabisco to make a sweet wine that tastes like Oreo thin mints. I know, why would anyone mess with a perfect cookie, right?

Barefoot Oreo Thins Red Blend is said to taste a lot like Oreo thin mints. It’s only available through the Barefoot website, but don’t bother looking — it’s all gone. Apparently, there are a lot of Oreo Thin Mint fans out there. The package of wine and cookies sold for $25.

The match made in heaven got me to think about other combinations. Surely, a wine could me made to taste like Cheetoes. What about cornflakes? You could substitute wine for milk to get your day started.
