I’m sure we’ve all stared at the bottom of a Tequila bottle and thought “Why is there a worm in there?”. But that’s nothing compared to what United States Customs officers found when conducting a routine inspection recently.
Yes, your eyes do not decieve you – this here is “snake wine”. No, it’s not a brand extension for Cobra (the popular curry house lager), it’s a truly bizarre collection of venomous snakes mixed with alcohol and stuffed into some glass bottles.

Apparently, the practice of producing this “snakes in alcohol” drink originated in Vietnam and is popular in Southeast Asia. Officials said the entire snake is submerged in the alcohol, often with insects or other animals such as turtles.
Sounds yummy. Check out your local specialist wine shop and ask for the “under the counter” stuff.
