Lucky? Article states they don't waste the good stuff (Bulls Blood) on
the apes. So we're talking wine not good enough for Bulls Blood, mixed
with tea. Maybe the Animal Libertation Front should break in and free
these apes, or at least order them something from Chambers St.

Well, then we'd have to figure out what wine to match with their diet.
Maybe Duboeuf Bojo to go with bananas? ;-)

Maybe they'll get some of the superb hungarian Tokaji Aszu, that would match
the bananas....

Perhaps they should be served a bit of Creme de Banana poured over a
bowl of sliced bananas rather than wine. Or perhaps they would like a
bit of Anis del Mono. I am guessing that a monkey might like a sweet
wine, so perhaps a bit of a sweet muscat wine for the ordinary monkeys
and some Tokaji Aszu 6P for an endangeried species of monkey or ape
would be in order. In the distant past, I have owned a wooly monkey, an
"organ grinder" monkey, and a Siamese rather ape-like larger monkey.
They all would eat a wide variety of foods. I also once had a kinkajou
which is a tropical nocturnal member of the raccoon family that has
huge eyes, is long and thin, and has a long prehensile tail. This
critter looks much more like a monkey than a raccoon. He could not get
enough bananas to eat. They have an extremely long tongue for reaching
honey in tree holes. If you inverted a bottle of Creme de Banana and
then opened it, the animal would run his long, narrow tongue down the
neck of the bottle and lick it clean. The animal was quite tame. He
would go over to new guests and sniff their shoes!

Or grace them with a set of Riedel Sommeliers Hermitage.

There's always Chateau Simian, CDP. If you wanted to monkey around.......

Now I know why I married a (half) Hungarian! Oook oook!

I wonder if "wine in the tea" is a mixed up translation of "wine
with tea" which could well mean of course, they just take
wine with the meal like the rest of us anthropoids.

Hungarian "simple table wine" enjoys a somewhat mythical
reputation in our family. Adele has a cousin near Sopron
who owns and operates a "table wine" vineyard, where they
daily receive busloads of Austrians and send them away
with a headache, plastic 1.5 l bottles filled to the brim.
Last tasted some years ago the brew was fabulously foul,
but indeed red and of high (presumably ethyl but I was afraid
to ask) alcohol content.

I'm a bit with Nils on this one: since my experience with Egri Bikaver
(sorry about the missing diacriticals) has been uniformly negative, I
shudder to think about what the lesser stuff is like. Now, thanks to
you, I don't have to, Emery! ;-)
