Inadvertent wine selfie

These are 50 litre 'bonbonnes' and they contain a sweet local dessert wine called Banyuls. The wine is put into the containers and left in the sun for a minimum of three years, to speed the ageing process. This traditional method, according to a sign in the winery, "gives the wine a hint of mahogany, and an aroma of dried fruits (figs, grilled almonds, prune brandy) and coffee."

50 lts of desert wine in each that's a lot of hangover..Interesting to know the fermentation process...

[Jacquie]

This is interesting; the complex mixture of organics in this stuff after three years might produce a considerable hangover if you could get over the aroma of dried figs!
Great selfie too.

Interesting facts and a unique selfie

[Granagringa]

cool shot, the pattern of the repetition of the bottles is really intereting and that they form a leading line all the way back to the tree...and then add the selfie! Cool

I love everything about this - it's original composition, pleasing shapes and interesting subject matter and explanation. The reflections are an added bonus - very sensual shot, makes me want to taste the wine. Fav.

Nice shot. I love how the reflection looks so different between the two bottles.
