U.S. Bans Poetic Bordeaux Wine Label for Inciting Debauchery!!

The poem on the label is by the great french poet Baudelaire, and it's about.....wine! No smut, no bad language, no risque images, just a poem about wine, written in French.
Obviously there has been no explanation from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives but perhaps they took the wine's name the wrong way - Château Haut Gay. There is a translation at http://bordeauxwinenews.blogs.sudouest.com/archive/2009/10/13/baudelaire-sent-to-coventry.html
