Grapes don’t always carry the one.
We want it to be seen that an incorrect calculation can come to give a correct product, they explain from Bodegas Alcardet, which add that we understand that unexpected things can happen. Thus, they explain that the grape with which they then make their product is exposed to a different climate, to a changing environment - and hence the idea of reflecting that calculation whose sum does not give the final result, but that once it is taken there is what was wanted.

From the manufacturer of the wine:
Correctness is not always an exact operation, just ask Alexander Fleming, the father of penicillin, or Marie Curie, the creator of radioactivity, whose fortuitous discoveries were made possible by unforeseen factors.
Today, oenology is a mixture of tradition with experimentation and technological innovation. At Bodegas Alcardet we consider Correcto a wine far from all calculations. Its success lies in the winemaker’s freedom to combine the benefits of success and failure.
We flee from the precision that sometimes oppresses us and focus on the subjectivity of the unexpected. The essence is not always found in perfection but in the error that changes everything and makes it unique and special.As for the number significance, who knows? They never explained the specifics from what I could find.
boolean
It’s from their special Incorrecto selection.
are they trying to say the whole is less than the sum of its parts?
Its probably wrong on purpose, as engagement bait
engagement bait
That’s what we are calling jokes nowadays?
It’s an ad
The engagement bait is on them!
Off by 100.
“Correcto” my ass. This is wrongo.
Wrongo is a 2020 red varietal that pairs well with fresh astrophysics.

Putting the shitty drunk math aside, what’s the significance of all of the numbers?
Battle of Hastings 1066, birth of Charlemagne 748. Not sure on the other two, events don’t seem like they could be linked in the same way as far as years go but it could be something else.
Maybe our resident historian, @[email protected], might have a clue?
Got me, I’m afraid!
Damnit. You were our only hope!
1166 was the birth of King John, for what it’s worth.
This is why you should make the label before drinking the wine
They still haven’t “fixed” it btw. And my human meat brain is 99% certain it’s on purpose:
18 - 5 = 12
and
264 * 3 = 782Bonus math problems.
they are all off by 100, 1, and 10 respectfully; so we can say it was deliberate for whatever their reasoning may be.
2nd one is 18-5 not 2. Looks like in the initial equation they forgot to carry the one, probably because it’d make the label look stupider than it already is.
Theyre all wrong intentionally.
Whoops. Not that it mattered much as [@[email protected] pointed out, but thanks for correcting me nonetheless.
I mean… 1066 was also the Battle of Hastings and the Norman conquest of England 🤷. Maybe it’s deep wine satire implying the French can’t count?
It’s Spanish wine though
Hey it’s wine satire. It doesn’t need to make sense.
i suspect the explanation for the bad math is on the back.
Naw, it’s inside on the bottom.
I think the joke is this wine will get you too drunk to do math right
Drink first, ask questions later.
If you can’t even do basic math on the label, then how can I trust you to have not fucked up the actual product? I’ll stick to whiskey.
