Vietnamese Snake Wine with Massive Cobras

Vietnam is such an odd country with its own cuisine and alcoholic preferences. Love alcohol? Then you should try the following Vietnamese snake wine with a massive snake or Scorpio in it. Brr, looks really terrible and I would never try one.

Just one look at those bottles makes me vomiting, it must be really awful – to drink wine or vodka with a snake in it. Such wine is for rich people only. According to the encyclopedia, snake wine is a special alcoholic beverage that contains the whole venomous snake in the bottle. Nowadays it can be found around Southeast Asia.

The main idea of these drinks, is not snake meat, but the snake poison dissolved in the liquor. Don’t be afraid the drink is completely safe since the snake venom is denatured by the ethanol. Ax a rule, people drink this wine as a restorative in small shots or cups. Most people believe these wines can cure a number of diseases.

Oh my God, it looks really awful!
