This one's like a sourvenir version, but this is definately real stuff over here. One of my roommates has tried the monkey wine. He says that they hit the monkey on the head before they pour out your shot, just to make sure there's enough chunks of monkey floating around. Delicious. Steve wants to try some but I think I'll pass.
Oh yes this is the souvenir version that you can buy at the airport. The real bottles are huge with different types of snakes, looking much more scary.
Monkey chunk...I'd pass too. In Okinawa they sell habu in a bottle, which is this weird, poisonous snake that has a mythology similar to the boogeyman.
I'm really not a snake wine - or any other type of creature in wine - expert, but like I said in the post there's also monkey wine and bear paw wine. Those I don't think you can buy a bottle of and take home. You would just have a shot or 2 at the restaurant. But I'm sure for enough money some one would surely sell it to you. The seahorse wine (and I think there was sand dollar wine too) I have seen in take-home bottles, and that was on Cat Ba island. Pretty much anywhere that's a tourist destination will have this type of stuff for sale.

Bear paw wine, that's intense. Are these put on your shelf novelties or do people really drink them?
