Wine club Nocking Point Wines released two fun Mean Girls-themed wine products—Wednesday Rosé and I’m a Red…Duh!—in collaboration with Jonathan Bennett, who played Aaron Samuels in the film as the love interest for Lindsay Lohan's character.
Wednesday Rosé features original label art that takes inspiration from the pages of the movie's burn book. It takes the form of an appropriately colored rosé that's made from a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Zinfandel and puts a twist on highly quoted phrases from the cult classic like "you can’t sip with us."
The second collaborative wine, I’m a Red…Duh!, pays tribute to the movie's Halloween movie scene where character Karen Smith reveals that she's dressed as a mouse. The red wine combines Syrah and Zinfandel grapes for a highly fruity wine with integrated tannins.
