Lead intoxication has been reported to occur as a consequence of nonoccupational exposure, the source being mostly the leaching of lead from fluid containers in domestic use. Three such cases are described, for which the cause has been identified to be in the lining of the vat used to contain home‐made wine. All cases are members of the same family.
