We’ve sipped some weird drinks here at TSL. Pink whisky, blue tequila, diamond-filtered vodka and our fair share of absinthe.

But we’re still excited by every exotic alcohol announcement, and this week it’s pomegranate wine from Galilee.

And not just because of our fascination for new and interesting ways to get soused – but for the unique health benefits apparently on offer:

In addition to exceptional clarity, rich color and an unusual and appealing flavor, the wine also has a hidden bonus in the wealth of vitamins and healing properties found in the pomegranate fruit, including – as recently discovered – not only anti-oxidants but even an ability to cause carcinogenic cells to self-destruct.

We don’t care how it tastes. The story behind this wine is just too good.
