A wine company has been criticised after it compared its product in an advert to something altogether less quaffable.
Premier Estates Wine shared their advert for their wine with the hashtag #TastetheBush, a subtlety that wasn't lost on viewers when the glass was put down on the table in front of the brunette.
The latest 'bad taste' advert - following Protein World's controversial 'Beach Body Ready' campaign and the Bic stationery fail - shows that advertisers are working on any level to get their product known - even if it's for all the wrong reasons
Twitter comments included Princess Pocket who told then: "Thanks for your ad. Now I know what brand to avoid like herpes".

Noel Douglas called it "sad", adding: "So Premiere Estates Wine don't believe in treating women with respect? Wow full on sexism."
Tuco added: "2015? I suggest a deliberate attempt to grab attention with a frankly deeply offensive piece of advertising."
