Lobster blood wine

Googling "lobster blood wine" results in only two pages: wikipedia and its mirror. Could anyone give a verifiable source? --BorgQueen 20:52, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it, since no source has been provided so far. --BorgQueen 16:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Psychoactive properties?

A friend of mine took a shot of snake wine, from our Vietnamese neighbours, back in the early 90s, and he claimed it gave him intensive hallucinations, much like LSD, for two days. KevinOKeeffe (talk) 12:43, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting characters

Can the oriental characters be simply deleted from this article without adversely affecting the article (or other-language versions)? They are rather unnecessary and distracting, expecially in the reference section. (I mean no offense by this suggestion, I am simply suggesting it to 'tidy' the article). --DrChrissy (talk) 18:02, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I personally don't think that would have anything other than a neutral effect on the article, at best; why do you see the Chinese Characters as "untidy"? And, from what I understand, it is Wikipedia's general and in some cases frequent practice to use the native names and terminology for many things, especially when they are either cumbersome to describe in English (or whatever langauge the Wikipedia is in, for that matter), in general usage in English (or, again, whatever language the Wikipedia is in) or are highly unfamiliar to most readers of a given Wikipedia. And, for Anglophones in general, I am pretty sure snake wine counts as the latter.

As a side note, at least where I live and have traveled (California, New Mexico, the Pacific Northwest, the Northeastern United States and Canada, for the record), the term "Oriental" is considered at least mildly derrogitory; not saying you meant to be offensive, just letting you know in case you didn't.

So, no, I strongly think that none should remove the Chinese Characters.--自教育 (talk) 23:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Importation into the United States

Snake wine as described in this article could not lawfully be imported into the US or introduced into interstate commerce. Snake wine does not conform with the definition of 'wine' as it appears in the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. Rather the article indicated that snake wine is made from distilled spirits or sake (beer). [Sake or rice wine is actually beer. A narrow exception exists in the law to allow sake to be labeled and advertised as wine, but for tax and other purposes sake is beer.] Also, snake parts or bi-products are not included in 27 CFR Part 24 as authorized for use in the production or cellar treatment of wine. The medicinal and health claims for snake wine also pose a problem for marketing the product in the US as an alcoholic beverage. Certainly a formula would have to be filed with TTB for evaluation and classification of the product.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.123.211.105 (talk) 15:09, July 28, 2015‎
