Howdy, folks! Welcome back to Booze In The News, where you’ll find the latest, funniest and most obscure newsworthy, alcohol-related bits all in one place.
1. The wine you’re drinking may be radioactive. Scientists have recently discovered trace amounts of radioactive carbon in wines produced after atmospheric atom bomb tests took place in Earth’s atmosphere. However, the amounts of radioactivity are small enough to be harmless. So don’t worry, you (hopefully) won’t grow a third nipple or begin glowing.
2. Carlton Draught, a subsidiary of Foster’s, recently had to pull an advertisement they deemed as “too risque.” Featuring a trio of creepy men singing about tingling in your “goolies” and “man plums,” maybe Carlton shouldn’t worry so much about being risque as much as just being weird.
3. South African winemakers are sick and tired of getting their feet covered in grape juice apparently and have recruited African Elephants to crush their grapes instead. Whether the flavor of elephant feet is better than human feet in your wine has yet to be decided.
