BEIJING (Reuters) - The French used grapes, Russians fermented potatoes, Koreans put ginseng in their drink and Mexicans distilled cactus plants to make fiery tequila.

Now China is introducing fish wine.

Sun Keman, an entrepreneur in the northeastern port city of Dalian, has formed the Dalian Fisherman's Song Maritime Biological Brewery, with a plan to use his background in the fishing industry to make fish into wine.

"Different from China's thousands of years of brewing, the brewery will clean, boil, and ferment fish for making wine," the official Xinhua news agency reported.

The company already had orders from Japan, Russia and other parts of China, it said.

Tipplers might also take heart in knowing the brew is purported to be good for them.

"Experts said the wine is nutritious and contains low alcohol," Xinhua said.

[Frank_Discussion]

I am nauseous just thinking about thinking about it...

"That's some terrific Bass!"

[mnehring]

I'll have a glass of coddonnay. Either that or Minnow Noir.

[Zavien Doombringer]

There already is a fish wine, it's called Worstershire sause. It's made with fermented sardines

[CAP811]

Oh now that's just wrong wrong wrong.

[Corin Stormhands]

Now China is introducing fish wine.

Can you serve white fish wine with red meat?

>>>"Experts said the wine is nutritious and contains low alcohol,"<<<

Hey I can see Vitamin fortified Beer, matter of fact I make my own (One a Day washed down with a cold one for Breakfast)
But I want all the alcohol the Beer has to offer.

[Zavien Doombringer]

Or a bottle of Mad Dogfish, Chaddonnay

< gak! > I used to like Worstershire. Off to the store for some A-1 (please don't tell me that contains sardines).

[fish hawk]

Does it cost a FIN? How does it do on the SCALES of one to ten? OOoooo that sounds Icthy.

[HairOfTheDog]

That sounds really gross! I'd have to rinse the taste out with whiskey.

[cripplecreek]

Almost as wrong as a chicken omelet.

It's not breakfast, it's a vendetta.

[Zavien Doombringer]

just read the bottle, and no, A-1 doesn't :)

[Fierce Allegiance]

They are late to the party.

[cjshapi]

Finally a use for the Bass-o-matic.

[Texans]

Flashback to SNL - "The Bass-O-Matic"

[Argh]

Yuck! They could make it out of caviar and charge an arm and a leg.

[Zavien Doombringer]

or a bottle of cheap german wine Zwartze Catzfish, or French Blue Gill

[Junior]

Gives a whole new meaning to "Bass Ale."

[mountaineer]

Reminds me of the scene from "Twin Peaks" - don't drink the coffee, there's a fish in the percolator.
