107-Year-Old Reveals Trick to Long Life. And It Involves WINE!

In news that you totally wanted to hear today, a recently-deceased 107-year-old man put his extraordinary longevity down to his habit of drinking four bottles of red wine every day.

Vineyard owner Antonio Docampo Garcia, from Ribadavia in north Spain, said that he would drink a couple of bottles of rouge at lunch and a further two at dinner.

His son, Manuel Docampo Lopez, told La Voz de Galicia that his father could drink ‘a litre and a half all at once.’

‘When we were both at home we could get through 200 litres of wine a month,’ he said.

‘He never drank water.’

Holy moly. SERIOUSLY!?

This is almost as good as that time we heard that drinking half a bottle of red wine before bed can help you lose weight. 

It's worth bearing in mind that Docampo only ever drank the organic, chemical-free wine his company, Bodegas Docampo, produced itself.
