Last but not least: Hooker diesel stays with us
We have one bubbly piece of news to share to wrap things up: Sparkling wine may be called «Nuttendiesel» without being discriminatory. The Fair Trading Commission has dismissed a complaint on this matter.
Last but not least, there is some sparkling news to report: Sparkling wine can be called "Nuttendiesel" without being discriminatory. The Fair Trading Commission has rejected a complaint to this effect, which had argued that the name of the beverage sold via the Internet was discriminatory against women.
However, the Fair Trading Commission does not see it that way. As Marc Schwenninger, legal secretary of the commission, told 20minuten.ch, the committee only assessed the "Nuttendiesel" brand. This was not discriminatory. Advertising for the product was not up for discussion. "The Fair Trading Commission has considered that the term Nuttendiesel for sparkling wine has become so naturalized that it has lost its discriminatory character. Hooker diesel does not carry a discriminatory message in the vernacular," said Schwenninger.
Well then, cheers - so that the sparkling wine is well received by the vernacular. And that it can come up with more than just a provocative name that takes up the time of the Fair Trading Commission.
