Zoo apes have taste for red wine

Zoo apes have taste for red wine
Tue May 23, 8:25 AM ET
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Monkeys and apes in Budapest's Zoo drink their way through 55 litres of red wine each year, albeit in small quantities each day, to help boost their red blood cells, the zoo said Monday.

Budapest Zoo spokesman Zoltan Hanga said it was the 11 anthropoid apes who drank most of the wine in 2005.
"Obviously, they do not have it all at once and get drunk, but they get it in small amounts mixed in their tea," Hanga said.
"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."
Bulls Blood from the town of Eger in northeast Hungary, became one of eastern Europe's best-known wines under communism.

Ape#1- I do say dear chap, when will we get a nice tuscan merlot?
Ape#2- Probably not till the next holiday. Zookeeper! Zookeeper!
Zookeeper- Yes
Ape #2- This wine is sub-par, can we get better wine or at least more so we can get smashed so we can think that the wine tastes decent?
Zookeeper- I'm sorry sirs, we just ran out of a 1996 Chardonnay from Napa Valley, but I can bring you some more of that Aussie wine
Ape#1- Thank you my good man.
Ape#2- He's a little something for your troubles
Zookeeper-Thank you, I'll be right back with the wine
 + wine= fun drunk monkey. just encase them in a plastic ball and let them party
