Nevermind a sweet chardonnay or a crisp pinot grigio there’s a new drink in town… Snake Wine!

This fine wine comes out of south east asia and has to be awarded 5 stars for presentation alone! From cobras and vine snakes being delicately displayed within the bottle to full on battle scenes of snake vs. scorpion every bottle is unique.

Snake Wine, Scorpion Wine, Venom Wine

The drink itself is a rice wine or rice spirit that has been infused with a combination of real Cobras, Vine Snakes, Scorpions, ginseng roots and herbal seedpods. The snake wine is steeped for several months so that a truly unique, and somewhat acquired, taste can be achieved. During this period any venom that is present is also neutralised by the alcohol.

The drink is also purported to be a very strong aphrodisiac as well as a treatment for rheumatism and arthritis. If nothing else I’m sure you can claim extra man points whilst supping a fine glass of this beasty stuff.

I’m certain I’d rather drink this stuff than baby mice wine although I’m not sure I’d be able to eat the venomous beasts when I’d finished the bottle. If you gave me triple man points then I’d be tempted.
