These cows will drink better than you will tonight
Red wine with beef? Even the cows agree it’s a perfect match. Only their cab-merlot blend comes mixed with hay.
Yes, some Australian farmers are taking the red-wine-with-beef match to the next level, feeding each cow in their herd a liter of cabernet-merlot blend per day to improve the flavor and quality of the beef, according to a story in the London-based Telegraph entitled Vintage red decanted to gourmet cows.
The wine ain’t no plonk, either. It costs 20 Australian dollars a bottle. Isn’t it uplifting to discover that a herd of cattle in Australia will be drinking better than you will tonight? What’s next, handing the cows a wine list?

Why is it so easy for me to picture Mark Fisher down on all fours slurping red wine out of a trough? If you’re next vacation is in the land down under, we’ll know what’s really going on.By Dr. Vino

That’s a much better idea than the Europeans distilling the excess wine into ethanol.
