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.

A fish in the wine? Just thinking about fish wine gives me a haddock!

Just wunnerful.

To make wine, yeast converts sugar [C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁] in fruit or polymerized sugar (starch) in a tuber to ethanol [CH₃CH₂OH].

Fish contains almost all protein. Proteins are composed of amino acids such as alanine [CH₃CH(NH₂)(COOH)].

The chemistry that would allow you to generate ethanol from protein is beyond me.

Gag! The thought of fish wine turns my stomach!

If they make WINE from good fish, does that mean they will make BEER from bullheads?

What would be the point of drinking it then? Junior, thanks for making it possible for me to lose those last 5 lbs. Anybody want my next 7 meals?

Just for the halibut.
