Now, people might ask what has Guinnea pigs to do with Chianti or any italian wines.
Let me tell you....
Once upon a time, there was a castle in Bellinzona, Canton Ticino, Switzerland. In the early summer days they had a big medieval feast and party. During these days you could see people eat and dance and sing and fight. There were plenty of amusements for all the visitors and one of them was the Guinnea pig wheel. What?
Well, as you can see in the picture there are a lot of small houses with a bottle of wine on it.
You tell the young lady that takes care of the game which number (house) you want to bet on and then she puts in the middle of the ring the guinnea pig. Now it's up to you to convince the little guinnea pig to go into your house.
Lukily my good friend Kerstin found a very good friend in the guinnea pig and we went home with a bottle of Chianti wine.
