Woman died after taking one sip of wine laced with MDMA independent.co.uk

A woman in Belgium died after taking a sip of wine from a bottle believed to have been used to smuggle the drug MDMA.

The 41-year-old had opened the bottle of French red wine at home and drank a small amount before pouring the rest away because it “tasted bad”, the Belgian public prosecutor’s office said.

The woman, from the Flemish town of Puurs, near Antwerp, later collapsed and was taken to hospital, where she died five days later on 17 December last year.
