Is it true that wine includes wine in the diet of Russian submariners?

According to a common opinion, the sailors are supposed to drink 100 g of red wine daily on submarines. We checked whether this is really so.

Messages that military wine is issued on Russian submarines daily red wine daily in publications in Facebook, in the magazine "Dog.ru" And on thematic sites. In different sources they write about a different volume of wine and give several versions of where it is in the diet of submariners. One of the most common Versions - to protect against exposure to atomic reactors.

The diets of military personnel in Russia are established by the government of the country. At the end of 2007 it was Published The decree “On food support for military personnel and some other categories of persons, as well as to provide stupid animals of military units and organizations in peacetime with feed (products), into which add -on and amendments several times made.
