Hmm! In my continuing quest to bring you only the finest in bizarre pictures, I found this photograph by Frank Robichon for EPA of a group of Japanese wine lovers, aka oenophiles, well bathing in beaujolis.   This in celebration of the uncorking of 2014’s Beaujolais Nouveau.  Traditionally, this occurs (the uncorking not the bathing) just after midnight on the third Thursday in November.  This follows just weeks after the grapes have been harvested.

We may be reminded of Ben Johnson’s “Ode to Celia:”

“Drink to me only with thine eyes,      

And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kiss but in the cup     

 And I’ll not look for wine.”

Except, I guess to bathe in it!
