Astute winos of the sniff, swirl and spit (during marathon tasting sessions) family might snub their noses at splashing about in a Cabernet-spiked bath. Thankfully, that's not what Madeira's The Vine hotel is suggesting. The hotel is taking a favorite alcoholic beverage and using it in unexpected ways, namely in spa services that make use of wine's many antioxidant properties.

The hotel is exclusively offering Vinotherapy treatments (using TheraVine products) at their on-site spa, including facials with ground grape seeds, standard massages and body wraps, and a "Red Wine Divine Bath," which includes a body peel, bath of grape oils, full body massage, and a glass of red wine—for drinking, thankfully. Now you're talking. The spa's ample size (3,000 square feet) and rooftop terrace with sea views sound impressive, no doubt, but the prospect of a massage immediately followed by a glass of vino from the wine bar is the real draw here. Though, if you're more modest, you can always opt for a private in-room spa treatment to dodge spa mingling with other guests.

For the record, we'll take a Chardonnay with our Jacuzzi, thanks.
