No, this is not some late April Fool’s joke, the condom rubber really does protect the wine and stop any unexpected surprises.The winery’s owner Orestes Estevez said: “When you put the condom on the bottle you make a little hole in the tip, and then the condom starts to rise – just like a guy, but this condom stays up.
And when the fermentation stops, it deflates, and it won’t rise again for anything.” A lack of tools due to the US trade embargo on Cuba forced the winery to use the inflatable friends. It’s unclear if the wine has a latex taste.
