No publicity, mind

It started here as another exercise in word of mouth on behalf of a South African winemaker. Now it’s gathering major news headlines and is threatening to become a ‘brilliant-marketing-but-bad-for-business’ case study. Let’s hope for Thresher’s sake it’s not Hoover all over again.

    Great PR, but unlikely to be Hoover all over again. It’s only really worth 7.67%, which is a nice saving but unlikely to bankrupt the company.
