Knicks Amare Stoudemire
"“The red wine bath is very important to me because it allows me to create more circulation in my red blood cells,” Stoudemire said after completing a three-hour practice with the Knicks on Thursday. “Plus, it’s very hot, so it’s like a hot tub. But it’s also the red wine … just kind of soothes the body.”
I do the same, but i marinate from the inside.
What kind of wine does he prefer…amar’one, perhaps?
I see what you did there!
Jonathan Favre bathes daily in Grand Cru Burgundy. True story.
No, malmsey, like George Plantagenet (but rather more salubriously or is that lubriciously?).

Only partially true Chris - only '04 red burgs 
. I blame Buzzzzzini for propagating the notion that I only cook with grand cru red burgundy 
. Here I stick with 1ers for sure… haaaa
So much for all that wine soothing.
Unlike a fine red wine that reached it’s peak and stayed there for many years, he didn’t.
I thought I detected a whiff of pyrazine that one time I shared an elevator with you.
Well Davis says cold soaks are pointless, might as well try it warm.
Ooh, here’s a fun science question: Would bathing in wine kill you, or just get you really drunk?
Forgot to take a shower that day 
. All natural pyrazine compounds I tell ya… 
what else are you going to do with all that premoxed white burgs?
My thoughts exactly. I’m no scientist but doesn’t the body absorb alcohol through osmosis? In all honesty though, from the picture it looks like water with some red wine mixed in so maybe its effect is diluted away. Admittedly, when I read the title I immediately thought of a 6’7" guy in a tub full of screagle.
I’d think you’d ingest more alcohol from the vapor given off by the large surface area of the wine in the tub than you would through dermal osmosis. Alcohol is absorbed instantly into the bloodstream in the lungs.
Amare needs all the help he can get!
The video says he goes to a spa and bathes in red wine mixed with water; he swears by it? It’s probably Barefoot!
