Yes, this is CRAZY, but this is not a laughing matter folks. I just read this scary piece at decanter.com about liquid cocaine being detected (thankfully) in bottles of Bolivian wine.
OK , so the picture is a bit humorous, but drugs are dangerous and illegal, and tainting wine (yes, even Bolivian wine) with cocaine is truly frightening. I applaud those who made this discovery. Decanter reported that “earlier this year a London cab driver died after drinking the drug from a rum bottle “. For all the frustrations we experience here with liquids not being allowed on airplanes, I guess those making the rules know what they are doing. From explosive devices to illegal substances, criminals are using liquids to hide things and I am proud that the good guys seem to have won this round.
Coming tomorrow, more on alternate containers for wine.
Happy untainted wine tasting!
