Nope- the Koreans like their whiskey and Soju, but not mice wine! The writing on the bottle is in chinese.

Um. I lived there for about 10 years, and I’m pretty sure that is not from Korea
What’s written on the bottle is Chinese and there’s no such thing like that.
Although there’s snake wine available

Whaaaat!?
Really I´ve seen some weird stuff inside bottles. Snakes, Crabs, scorpions, you name it.
But this stuff really deserves a price! Baby mice?! Unreal!
Imagine a cocktail with “one of the infusing flavors” for garnish…
April fools of Halloween? Sound more like Halloween to me…

Cheers,

Tony

If you read in the article, they seem convinced it cures everything up to an including the common cold.
If you came at me with this stuff, I’d leap from my bed and shake off whatever ailed me too!

Yeah and this is also definitely weirder than Vietnamese snake liquor.

Yuck.

Oh my godness..i thought i had seen a lot but obviously i haven`t. I even believe this would be a challenge for Matt but who knows?

I just wonder what the purpose is when there´s so much other tastier things to make wine and liqueurs from? they must believe there´s some “strength” to pick up by drinking it?

Probably the most unappetizing drink i`ve seen, and yes, my worm in the bottle seems totally ordinary now.
