Not exactly news I suppose, but I'd never heard of it before. π³
What an amazing mind he must have possessed to come up with this. π

I actually own a couple of these, [modern day versions, not antiques] and they are quite
fun to play with.

My suggestion would be Honey.
Less lethally toxic.

I doubt I'd enjoy wine and honey, but I'm pretty sure it palatally* beats wine and mercury. π
* is that a word, palatally, or did I just make that up? I can't be arsed to look it up.
Back in Roman times they liked to add lead to their wine to sweeten the flavour.
Honey might work better. In terms of not also poisoning you.
Palatability?
