Wine drinking

Mycroft's attention was drawn to the following article this morning:
It contains a rather bizarre exhortation from the Australian Wino Society (as named by Monty Python).  According to the article, 'Wine Australia wants Australians to stick to Australian wine on Australia Day and, if they catch someone drinking an offshore drop, to ''pull down their strides''.'

So there will be a few more assault arrests than usual on Australia Day, then.  No doubt it will look like this all over Australia on January 26:
Mycroft never wishes to spread alarm, unless there is the slightest provocation.  So with that in mind, it is entirely possible that the suggestion from the Wino Society could be the catalyst for the End of the World.  Imagine, people running around reading the label on wine bottles before attempting to forcibly disrobe people.  Vigilante mobs (known as the Whine Police, no doubt) would soon be everywhere before the inevitable Police Crackdown was announced.  Would the Crackdown come in time to save the world? 

Perhaps Whine Australia should focus on providing competitive prices instead of taking refuge in Jingoism?
