(Independent) - A recently-deceased 107-year-old Spanish attributed his long-life to drinking four bottles of wine each day and never drinking water.

Antonio Docampo García, who died last week in Vigo, northwestern Spain, said he only imbibed his own homemade red wine. 

Mr Docampo would drink two bottles of red wine with his lunch and another two with dinner. 

"He could drink a liter and a half all at once," his son, Miguel Docampo López told La Voz de Galicia.

"When we were both at home we could get through 200 litres of wine a month," he added. "He never drank water."
