Drunken Cows for Dinner


Food trends make me giggle but this one has me curious: cows are being fed wine for 60 days as part of their diet. Evidently these particular bovine become chattier than your typical cow after their daily treat of red wine blends, although they prefer the sweeter varietals. Inspired by pigs being fed beer (how did I miss that story?-beer bacon! Yum!), the liter of wine isn't enough to make the cows tipsy but they are very relaxed. Evidently relaxed cows make for some tender eats. It's more expensive than regular sober beef but those who are cooking and eating it agree that the extra cost is worth the quality of meat they are experiencing.
