aka. the sweet wine. sweetened with diethylene glycol. in 1990, out of 339 children who were delivered to a Bengali hospital, with an initially unexplained renal failure, 70% (in-hospital fatality rate) died.
after further investigation it became evident that "a history of ingestion of a brand of paracetamol that contained diethylene glycol was found only in children with unexplained renal failure."

they died of a syrup fortified with diethylene glycol. in 2006, out of 174 people who ingested a cough linctus called Heparin, that instead of diphenhydramine contained diethylene glycol, 115 died.

but let's go back to 1985, to the wine scandal of Austria & Germany. what happened there was, diethylene glycol was used instead of sugar to sweeten wine. sugar can't be added to wine because it would initate another fermentation process. although these adulterated wine bottles haven't caused any fatalities (the top rate was 46g per liter, while 60-100g diethylene glycol are required to end up dead) they could have.
if you're into drinking wine, and into suicide, add some 100g or more of diethylene glycol to your bottle(s). and you'll have un dolce vino per finirsi la dolce vita. it can be bought on ebay or from your favorite or any chemist. it's not on the USPS Pub 52 (list of hazardous, restricted, and perishable mail) and also not on ebay's prohibited material list.
