Microsoft Does Wine

Blue Monster Reserve

"Change the world or go home," that's what the wine label on Microsoft's new Blue Monster Reserve reads. Unfortunately for most of us, we won't get a chance to sip back a glass... unless we happen to land a job with the computer giant. The wine is reserved for employees of Microsoft as well as its clients.

Stormhoek winery created the label "to promote innovation inside the company," to which UeberReview had to ask, "So what are they saying - that drunken nerds are more creative?"

Although you may not score a job with Microsoft, you can always hope for an invitation to the Friends of the Blue Monster Facebook Group
