So Knicks forward Amar’e Stoudemire may only be 31 years old but in a couple of weeks he’ll be starting the 13th NBA season of his career. On top of that he’s also got some surgically repaired knees that he’s dealing with. So obviously it’s not a surprise to see him taking an ice bath.

A red wine bath though? Surprisingly it’s not something he made up. There are spas in California that offer what is called “vinotherapy.” What the heck is vinotherapy you ask? Well….

Vinotherapy, also written “Vinotherapie” describes a beauty therapy process where the residue of wine making (the pips and pulp) are rubbed into the skin. The pulp is said to have excellent exfoliating qualities and help reduce the problems associated with ageing.

Personally, I just look at it as a waste of perfectly good wine.
