Super Terrific Japanese Thing: Wan Wan Sparkling
If you think this is wine for dogs, then…you are exactly right. It’s booze for dogs. Sparkling wine specifically, for fancy-schmancy dogs and their hoighty-toighty owners. I was under the impression that booze was bad for dogs, but it does say “Arukooru 0%”?which I assume means zero alcohol, which makes it okay in theory if not in common sense and dignity of all involved. Oh, “wan wan” is essentially “bark” or “woof” in Japanese, the sound dogs make, so it’s really called “Woof woof Sparkling.” If you aren’t ashamed by proxy just reading that, then you might ant to consider seeing a doctor.
