Lobbying firm attempts to remove “Wife Beater” reference from Stella Artois Wikipedia page

An international lobbying company tried to remove references to a client’s brand of lager as the "wife beater" from the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.

Stella Artois used to market itself under the slogan "reassuringly expensive" but became popularly known in Britain as the "wife beater" beer because of its high alcohol content and perceived connection with aggression and binge drinking.
