Asia's Snake Wine

  Snakes are types of carnivorous reptiles that are devoid of legs. There are many different types of snakes like cobras, rattlesnake, boas to name a few. Some of the snakes are poisonous but many are not.
 Snake are also used as ingredients for wine. It originated in Vietnam and can be found in South East Asia like Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Venomous snakes are usually made into wine but the meat are not preserved but for their venomous poison which is dissolved in the liquor.
Since the venom of snake is protein-based they are often inactivated by the effects of ethanol that is found in liquors.
A large venomous snake is placed inside a glass of rice wine and left to steep for several months. The wine is then drunk using small cups. Body fluids of snake are mixed with the wine and consumed right away in a shot.
