I mean from a risk assessment angle how sick could a single gnat carcass make a person? People eat 1-2 pounds of insects/larvae on average over the course of a year, personally I aim for 3. Add to that the alcoholic nature of most wines and I’d say the risk is negligible.

So really the only two dilemmas I can sus out would be financial and moral.

Discarding the wine is an absolute waste of resources.

Morally, that fly died before it got into the wine OR it flew in as a sober decision to get plastered before its very short lifespan concluded naturally. Commendable.

Easy decision, drink all the gnat wine you can.

Very good, aha. It was more coming from the vantage point of me not wanting to end up with some weird Lymes type situation. I know its primarily deet ticks but i’m using that as a stand-in and most prescient example of thr kinda bugshit I wanna be proactive about :)

But yeah, we probably eat a ton of bugs/annum
