I previously noted that Disney was going to market a wine called "Ratatouille" and bearing the likeness of Remy, the rat, on the label, through Costco. The wine was to be a French Chardonnay from the Burgundy region and will retail for $12.99.
Well, it seems Disney has now canceled those plans. The LA Times has reported that Disney & Costco. decided to cancel the wine after meeting opposition from California winemakers and opponents of underage drinking. Disney claimed the California winemakers were upset that a French wine was being promoted though they denied that was a factor.
I think this was a good move on Disney's part.
I do wonder though if any bottles were labeled and still exist out there. They certainly would be major collectibles.
