You know how you make Evangelion wine, right? You harvest the grapes, crush them to a pulp, let the juice ferment, and bottle it. And then you remain emotionally distant to it for 14 years.The online shop ANIMATE is taking orders for limited-edition Neon Genesis Evangelion-inspired sparkling wines, to be sold in mid-June. The wines come in three flavors, with each flavor featuring either Unit 01, Asuka Langley, or Rei Ayanami. Only 333 bottles of each wine type will be produced for 50,000 yen each (US$624), and each bottle will be numbered.
Evangelion Sparkling Eva 01 BRUT Karakuchi" is a dry, not very sweet wine; "Evangelion Sparkling Eva 00 SEC Nakaguchi" features Rei Ayanami and is a semi-sweet wine; and "Evangelion Sparkling Eva 02 DEMI SEC Amakuchi" is a sweet wine featuring Asuka Langley. All three bottles feature the characters drawn in gold print on a black bottle.

I hear some wine enthusiasts critiqued that the Rei wine rather lacked any real character..
Notice that none of the labels feature the main character: Shinji. I'd like to imagine that he's somewhere in his apartment, downing Asuka's wine by the bottle, and then masturbates to the picture on the label. XD
That closing remark + this comment section = A++. My evening has been made - I am laughing so hard right now. Never change, Eva fans. Never change.
Other people get weirded out about how much boobage the fourteen year old girls have in this show too, right? It's not just me?
I don't know what vaginas you have encountered, my friend, but if they look like EVA-01 you should avoid any further contact.
I'm confused. DO I have to jerk off on the bottle of Asuka wine, or on its contents before announcing that I'm fucked up?
geh vurts rah mee ner
Thanks, german mom, for teaching me enough german to make phonetic breakdowns of wine names, but not enough to catch the train from berlin to hamburg.
German wine. Japanese plot. hmmmm. Maybe someone could introduce a pointless, sycophantic Italian soundtrack and we'd have something.
Well, it's better than the Evangelion communion wafers. Which look like gingerbread men that someone's nibbled the legs off of.
I tried this wine; I got a third of the way into the bottle and let it go cause it was a little too bitter.The starting note was interesting, the mid-note was too long and conflicted, and while I had spit it out before the end-note came around, I've heard enough from the other drinkers to get a good idea of the utter confusion that resulted from drinking this wine. I much prefer the Cutie Honey whiskey; with its pep and snap and awesome bottle:
This is gonna look real classy next to that half full bottle of Boons Farm I've been saving for a special occasion!
The medallions draped over the bottle makes me think these are being marketed to 40 year old guys with pot bellies, trying to look cool on the beach despite the forest of chest hair on their bare chests.
I could try to spin that into some kind of joke about how old the original Evangelion is, but this image makes so little sense already.
Rob, it looks like you're not alone! I think somebody's got a fetish for hair/fur at TR :D isn't that awesome????
that's great, Rob, now you can use the bottle to knock out that pony while you masturbate over it
