While the beloved face of Hello Kitty might make sense for some products such as a watch, a necklace--even a toaster--some items are more questionable, like wine. Regardless, Hello Kitty Wine will soon be on the market (May 1st).
Bottled by Italian wine maker Dino Torti, the Hello Kitty wine will be available in four varieties including 'Sweet Pink' and 'Devil.' One piece of advice, though: no matter how big a Hello Kitty fan she is, your 12-year-old daughter probably shouldn't receive the Hello Kitty wine as a gift.
