Well, I've been in green tea baths, 'dead sea' style salt baths, and even a sake bath, but this I've yet to try:

Looks pretty sweet (as long as you're not wearing white swim wear). It's at the Kowakien Yunessun onsen in Hakone, some kinda promotion for Beaujolais nouveau (which is huge in Japan for some reason). Apparently adding wine can actually have minor health benefits, like acting as an astringent (from the tannins) for the skin etc.
Almost looks good enough to drink (maybe if you just spit it out after) . George Duboeuf would no doubt be proud... |

Plus, via osmosis, you would get progressively drunk the longer you stayed in the pool. |
