snake wine - 13 photos

Photos of "Snake Wine" bottles (in Vietnamese: rượu rắn) containing snakes (often Cobra) and various other animals (lizards, centipedes, scorpions etc). I took those photos in Vietnam and Laos.

Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage that includes a whole snake in the bottle.

It is also prepared using other critters, preferably venomous, e.g. Scorpions, centipedes, geckos, wasps, and I have even seen one made with black birds.

Snake Wine is a specialty of Vietnam and Laos.
