A centenarian has attributed his age to guzzling four bottles of red wine a day.

The secret to a long life is drinking vino, and a lot of it, according to the 107-year-old man.

Antonio Docampo Garcia is the founder of the Bodegas Docampo wine company and said he had two bottles with lunch and another two with dinner every single day.

Antonio died last week, but attributed his longevity to his drinking habits.

New research proves we love our smartphones more than our partners.

A staggering two-thirds of British people are more frightened at the thought of being without a mobile phone than not being with a loved one for a day.

The figures were the result of a study by the Nationwide Building Society, who surveyed over 2,000 people in relationships.

Other findings included that 53 per cent admitted to answering texts when they wake up in the morning before speaking to their boyfriend or girlfriend.

A man has made a giant monkey portrait painted entirely out of the soy sauce.

The artwork is larger than life at 8ft by 8ft and is the work of artist Will Vibes to celebrate the Chinese New Year of the monkey.

The concept was to bring to life the enthusiastic and thoughtful nature of the celebrated monkey, along with a key ingredient of Chinese cooking.

Will said: "The final artwork using Amoy Soy Sauce blends tradition and modernity through the movement, exuberance and energy of the monkey - an extremely revered figure in the Chinese zodiac."

A giant rabbit the size of a dog is looking for a new home.

The 'mischievous' seven-month-old bunny, named Atlas, is on the hunt for a new owner after his carers handed him into Scottish SPCA centre in Cardonald, Glasgow, because they could no longer look after the lovable bouncy creature.

Centre manager Anna O'Donnell said: "Atlas is already about the size of a westie and is still young, with some growing to do. He is a very friendly rabbit who loves attention and getting cuddles. Atlas is also an inquisitive boy who makes everyone laugh with his mischievous character. We are looking for a specific home for Atlas due to his breed and size."

However, the animal centre has warned that any potential owners will need to be clued up on how to care for a rabbit Atlas' size and provide him with a home big enough for him.

Anna explained: "A standard rabbit hutch won't do, so his new owner will need plenty of space for him. Atlas needs an owner with the knowledge to properly care for him, so ideally, someone who has kept a continental giant before."
