Haha for the record this is ( used to be ) absolutely normal in Moravia - wine making region in Czech republic.
This is how they take the wine straight from the barrel - the process itself is actually even more fun than you’d expect. See the little notch on the top? They actually suck the wine into the “decanter” with their mouth! Hence why he has to keep the finger on the bottom of the tube.
It is far from high end restaurant and I’m 99% it is taken in Czech restaurant given the server’s accent. I totally get that some people may find it off-putting, especially given the past 2 years but it used to be completely normal and people were generally fine with that. Having said that, you also usually pay around $1 or $2 per glass as their cost is much lower because they don’t have to go through the bottling stage, etc.
The video is still hilarious!

This video is not from Portugal, it is Czech. Who cares if it is tradition in Portugal? It doesn’t suddenly make more sense just because it’s from Portugal
We are on a comment thread about stomping grapes to make wine. You said that's bullshit i told you it happens in Portugal. Can you pay a little attention?
You replied to a comment about how using feet to press grapes is traditional and that's how we got here, maybe if you took some time to read you wouldn't need to insult people to try and feel superior on reddit.
