Wine Enigma

SIGNS OF THE WORLD

Even here in the bucolic, urban violence, ridden, public transportation boondoggle home, drunk driver haven of Albuquerque we can find signs worth our attention

Behold
I was opening up a very nice bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir when I noticed this on the label.

Certified Salmon Safe
Pray tell what does that mean?

Does that mean that salmon can safely drink this wine? I have images of bottles being thrown into the ocean to encourage male and female salmon mating partying. 

Does it mean that this winery is safe from depredations of wine seeking salmon who swarm over the rivers to the vineyards to drink themselves silly before they pass away?

Does it mean this is a wine I can safely cook salmon with or eat salmon with?

Does it imply that this wine acts like some sort of salmon condom?

Who knows?

An Enigma

Hah! It's certified salmon-free, so it is safe for vegetarians to drink.

It means the vineyard uses verified environmental practices to protect the watershed :) http://salmonsafe.org/get-certified/

It explains why salmon is pink at any rate.
