Your are quite right, Seth. Clearly, I don't expect a Riesling bottle here and in fact white German Pinots are not sold in those anyway. I also agree that the bottle goes perfectly with a brand such as 'Black Tower'. There is after all a reason why this is one of the well recognised German brands in the UK.
However, I do question whether a light, off-dry white wine is what goes well with this bottle. And I'd argue that Germany, despite also producing some very substantial white and red wines, is still the wine country to go to for elegant whites (if you want to break things down to simple classifications). Because of that, the whole idea of 'Black Tower' goes against all I like about German wine.
Having said that, I could see cheap Trollinger being sold in these bottles... ;-)
