Alabama's only Sommelier quits in disgust.

Cycles Gladiator wine has been banned in Alabama because the label features "a person poised in an immoral or sensuous manner." Lorrie Rodgers of Hahn Family Estates, the California company that makes the wine, told Examiner.com:

"There's been quite the momentum and excitement [after the ban in Alabama]. It's very interesting as the label is art and comes from a very famous French lithograph by Georges Massais from 1895. The bicycle represents freedom and there are only a few of the original lithographs left"
