Now that’s a vintage! Archaeologists discover ‘world’s oldest’ wine while excavating Roman tomb in Spain – 2,000-year-old tipple found in burial urn mixed with human remains
Daily Mail | June 18, 2024 | Meg ByromThe 2000-year-old tipple was found in a burial urn mixed with cremated human remains.
Discovered in Carmona in the southern region of Andalusia, the wine is believed to be the oldest ever found and was preserved in liquid form.
Analysis of the liquid inside the urn concluded that it was white wine despite its dark colour, as it did not contain the polyphenols found in grape skins used to produce red wine.
In a report published about the discovery, scientists added that the liquid was similar to the Fino wines produced in the same region today.

Just like that bottle of Red Rooster 21 from the Kroger Close-Out Special shelf in 1976, it won’t be any good no matter how long you wait.

No one dares to challenge the snooty old sommelier who still refuses to reccomend it.
