KFI: When someone brought glass specialist Andy McConnell a sealed bottle that dated back 150 years on Antiques Roadshow, the expert got very excited. He was so enthusiastic, in fact, that McConnell got out a syringe to taste the 150-year-old wine that he suspected was inside the bottle, which a man had found buried under his house. An audience eagerly watched as Andy sampled the mysterious brown liquid. He stated, “I think it’s port. It’s port or red wine, or it’s full of rusty old nails and that’s rust.” Well, he was partly right. read more
Must be a progressive liberal!
He sure seems okay with the lab analysis. Maybe he usually has to pay extra for that, so he thought he got a deal.
…but maybe the witch had diabetes…
“One of the rare instances in which uroscopy was dead-on came in diagnosing diabetes by a sweet taste to the urine. In 1674, English physician Thomas Willis (1621-1675) was the first in modern medical literature to observe this relationship. He may have enjoyed the sampling process a little too much, stating that the pee on his palate was “wonderfully sweet as if it were imbued with honey or sugar.” His taste test led him to add the term “mellitus” to this form of diabetes, from the Latin word for honey. Ancient Arab, Hindu and Chinese texts also have anecdotal reports of the same sweet taste in urine from patients who displayed the symptoms of what was later termed diabetes.”

Here’s mud in your eye.
I want my bottle back.
We used to joke about Ye Olde Panther Piss rotgut alcohol, but we never drank THAT!!
Couldn’t he just tell by looking at that old bottle and that yellow color that it was a bottle of pee? Or when he opened it and it smelled like old stale urine, what an idiot! Or do Brits just have no common sense, if it looks like pee and smells like pee it’s probably pee. DUH!
I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself
Well ain’t that a pisser, bet he’s the guy who bought that 5 gallon bucket of dog doo off Ebay a few years back.
Bottoms up.
…here’s a movie scene no one remembers that covers this…

…well, it’s not wine, but Brits do drink their beer warm ON PURPOSE, if that helps answer your question…
I don’t drink much beer but warm beer sounds disgusting to me.

LOL! I stopped watching that guy into his first season. I had never seen a guy so happy to drink piss before.
Plus he had a whole group of people following him off camera. Come on.

In Africa the tribesmen urinate on ant hills and if the ants are attracted to it they know the donor has diabetes.
Funny how primitive people can find medical problems using good old common sense.
I thought it was the hair of a dog not the urine of a dog that boozers drank!

…watching ants drink it is ONE thing, but if you look at the color wheel on my linked article, this was “doctors” TASTING bloody urine.
…that’s going a bit far for good patient care, to me, but maybe I’m just not committed enough…
Makes for good TV.
Always good to “come here” and get caught up on dietary and other medical issues…
Your FDA approved recommended daily allowance of Vitamin P.
