In Vietnam, they have a special wine bottle which has a real cobra snake. You read it right, a real poisonous cobra snake. It intrigued me alot.

I am not sure how many of you know about this. These are made using a whole cobra/other snake which are infused with rice or grain alcohol. Though it has a poisonous snake inside, the venom is neutralized by alcohol and the proteins of venom are released.

Great stories are made about the health benefits of these wines:

  • Improves sex power
  • Reduces hair loss
  • Improves eye sight

Amazing. Isn't it.
