Another bizarre act for the Meadowlands circus. Once things go sour, the wine will be accompanied by plenty of whine.

Cheers! Jets unveil commemorative cabernet
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)—Cheers, Jets fans! You can toast your team in a new way this season.
The team announced Wednesday it has started taking advance orders for its new, limited release commemorative wine, called Jets Uncorked. The 2008 cabernet sauvignon was created to help the team celebrate the opening of the New Meadowlands Stadium.
“We didn’t want to simply slap our logo on a wine,” said Matt Higgins, the team’s executive vice president for business operations. “We wanted to make one from scratch.”
Higgins said the Jets went to Napa Valley in California and scouted eight wineries before selecting veteran winemaker Marco DiGiulio and lifestyle marketing agency, Wine By Design.
The wine was made solely for the Jets, and will be available for $27.99 on the team’s website. DiGiulio said about 8,000 cases were made, and several Manhattan restaurants, such as Nobu, will also carry it.
