The church, the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, says they're mainly making it for sacramental purposes but if it happens to have a good taste, well why not sell it? So the church is hiring a vintner to come in and help them out.
Now you might be wondering why a cemetery? Isn't that a little macabre? Well, look at it as the circle of life. Or, you could look at it from the Catholic standpoint. After all it's all part of sacrament and isn't that the whole transubstantiation thing? Didn't that whole issue cause wars all over Europe? And think of the marketing slogan as they market the wine as being not just wine, but Blood of Jesus wine.
We tried to come up with a bunch of jokes ourselves, other than the one above, but couldn't really come up with anything that funny. Or at least compared to the jokes on Fark.com. So, instead of brainstorming some more (we're feeling lazy today), we'll just give you the best of the Fark thread:
I ain't drinking no farking Murderlot!
Not so much corked as corpsed.
Brings new meaning to 'full bodied'...
