Subject: tiger wine
Пожалуйста, помогите перевести или понять что это есть такое :) у меня помутнение, гугл не помог :(

Контекст: Rhino horns and tiger bones remain in great demand in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong for their medicinal purposes. Rhino horns allegedly reduce fevers, while tiger bones, TIGER WINE and dried tiger penises are used for all sorts of purposes including promoting sexual vigour.

Жуть :)

Заранее спасибо!

In reality, this "scientific park" is a sacrificial circus where juvenile tigers and lions are trained by collar and leash to attack farm animals, then slaughtered once they have grown old or sick - their meat served up in the park's restaurant, and bones crushed and fermented into unlabelled 500 yuan bottles of wine brewed and sold on the premises with an official export certificate.

Имхо Тигровое вино

настойка на тигриных костях: He had never seen tiger's wine before. Mr. Kim held the bottle up and swirled it so that the fine white powder in the bottom—the ground tiger bone—floated up into the clear rice wine like dust in a sunbeam. The tiger's bones were to make one brave. Mr. Kim told the man about tigers: their courage, their intelligence, how sensitive and easily insulted they were, which was why it was necessary to apologize to the tiger before drinking his bones
