If NEUTROGENA, BIC & VANS merged and opened a winery, they would sell ___

CABERNETSAUVIGNON

Think of a bold red wine whose name blends a taxi, a pen brand, and a skate shoe.

This clue combines the first letters of three brands—Neutrogena (N), Bic (B), and Vans (V)—to form "NBV," which sounds like "en-bee-vee." That’s a playful nod to "N-B-V," the common shorthand for "Cabernet Sauvignon," a well-known red wine. The joke imagines these companies teaming up to sell wine, with the answer being the wine’s full name spelled out.
