People making money off of religion, nothing new. It's a practice older than the Christian faith itself.

Why are you upset that Jesus is on a wine label?

........because you think people are using Jesus/religion to make a profit?

........because you think a wine grown in the Holy Land and marketed to Christians is somehow different from t-shirts, the Vatican gift shops (where I got a great jubilee shot glass BTW), religious book stores, action figures, etc?

Why do you think this wine upset me. A wine shop was next door to my shop and I know how many people love wine. No judgement here.

Because the title of the link you posted was "using Jesus to sell wine".

Because many Christian's believe it's sacrilegious. Many of the poster's were correct. It should have been in the religious section.
