There is nothing quite so unsettling as a dark red Chianti wine with a cannibal’s name displayed on the label, but if that intrigues you, you are just the right type of clientele for the Silence of the Lambs Wine collection.

With a [red wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/here-by-chance) called ‘[Cannibal Chianti](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macabre-spirits)’ and a [white wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mouton-cadet-fresh-collection) called ‘Suit Yourself Pinot Grigio,’ this collection is sure to pair well with most meals, especially if meat is being served.

The packaging does nothing to tone down the creep-factor of Silence of the Lambs Wine with the haunting line “put the lotion in the basket” on the front, a phrase that was spoken by a serial killer who enjoys the taste of human flesh.
