I think this name was coined by HFW, it was made for them exclusively, like the Nefertiti/Nefertari reds from Glaetzer.

I think you'll find Mouthpiece is a Heritage Wines label made by Kalleske.
Neck oil is a term that has ben used in common language in Australia to describe a very nice drink.
As to what next? Every new label launched has to find something catchy.

I dunno about the Viagra Shiraz. It could backfire. You know how the joke goes, if the wine gets caught in your throat, you end up with a stiff neck...

Apparently named for the opinion that it looked "as black as the inside of a dog".
