Hungarian Zoo Apes Love Their Red Wine

From Yahoo!News:  Monkeys and other zoo apes at the Budapest zoo have a thing for the grape — turns out, they drink their way through 55 litres of red wine each year, according to a statement released by the zoo on Monday.  The reason?  It helps boost their red blood cells.

“Obviously, they do not have it all at once and get drunk, but they get it in small amounts mixed in their tea,” said Budapest Zoo spokesman Zoltan Hanga.  He continued:  “And it’s not Eger Bulls Blood or some expensive wine that they are getting but simple table wine, as it’s mainly good for their blood cells.”

They don’t have it all at once — how disappointing.  Because soused monkeys? 

Now THAT would be a tourist attraction.
