There are two varieties of snake wine. A large venomous snake can be placed into a glass jar of rice wine, often with many smaller snakes, turtles, insects, or birds, and left to ferment for many months. Snake blood wine is prepared by slicing a snake along its belly and draining its blood into a mixing vat with rice wine or grain alcohol. The gall bladder can be emptied into glasses with wine and the snake meat, liver, and skin can be prepared to accompany the drink.
In early 1998, a Vietnamese government decree banned the sale of snakes and cats to China, linking it to an endemic rise in the rat population, particularly in Hanoi. The Chinese government places similar restrictions on the killing of snakes, yet snake wine remains popular in many regions. It is illegal to import snake wine to many countries including the United States because the cobras and other snakes killed in the production are often endangered species. |

Hello Paul and Sara Mitchell!
A very bizarre picture with note.Liked the light on few bottles.Picture is alright, i can see everything in bottle.
You've written good note for proper understanding.But you should've also added some benefits of using this particular wine.
(Best of luck for future)
