'Merlot' License Plate is a No-Go in Utah

'Merlot' License Plate is a No-Go in Utah

A Utah man had a license plate reading "merlot" for 10 years, but now the state has told him he has to remove it. This because the state doesn't allow words of intoxicant to be used on vanity plates.

The man's car is dark red, like the wine. Apparently an anonymous caller told the state that merlot was also an alcoholic beverage.

Yup, sounds like something that would happen in Utah. I'd be more worried about the anonymous caller. I mean who does that? Talk about free speech.
