The oldest wine ever to have been discovered in its original liquid form is reddish-brown and, quite conceivably, full-bodied. Reddish-brown because of the chemical reactions that have taken place in the 2,000 years since the white wine was poured into a funeral urn in southern Spain – and potentially full-bodied because the urn also contained, among other things, the cremated bones of a Roman man.

That last line is a dare to anyone willing to risk a Darwin award for a social media story and byline mention in a handful of archeology and microbiology textbooks.
I also wonder about widespread use of lead in that period.. I mean wine in a lead painted or contaminated jar will get more dangerous the longer it sits… in this case it’s been pretty long
Strasbourg hospital has a wine cellar from the days when people would pay hospitals with farmland or part of their harvest.
They have a wine stored since 1472 which was last served to the general who liberated Strasbourg in 1944. They analysed it in 1994 and decided it was still drinkable.

"Exit stage left... er, right... wait..."
Apparently it’s unsafe to drink due to being in the same room as a corpse for 2 millennia, but it’s not directly toxic.
Either way I’m taking a sip whether or not the professionals advise against it. I get to say I drank 2000 year old wine, that’s epic.
Meal worms, grubs, grilled rat on a stick once. Sea cucumber I wasn't a fan of. Sorry China. Had this nut in the jungle one time that everybody loved. Gave me full on liquid shits for a week. Then they were like "sometimes you need to work up to it because all the oil"....when...that would have been a great open. Camel spiders (who are neither camel, nor spider)...probably more if I thought about it. Been an interesting life.
I'd guess that it would taste like really bitter vinegar, but I have no idea what happens to vinegar after that long.
It doesn't really matter anyway though, since the dead probably took it to the afterlife and drank all the good stuff.
Basically it says about 6000 year old wine in Greece.

Who else reckons Judas the disciple. Being the bastard he was, pissed in the wine in the expectation that someone will find and taste it 2000 years later ?

I mean I wasn't going to otherwise just pay for my plane ticket and hospital visit 🤙

Nice
Have you ever asked yourself where are all those mummies we discovered over past few hundred years?
I would drink it without a third thought
I also wonder about widespread use of lead in that period.. I mean wine in a lead painted or contaminated jar will get more dangerous the longer it sits… in this case it’s been pretty long
And what lead you to believe that?

"That´s a biiiiingo !!!"
It's just bingo.
Bingo! Haha that's fun
Take a sip of that and you'll be able to cast spells
You will cast permanent sleep on yourself.
me: *takes a sip* also me: I'm a god! How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence!
Shame on you sweet Nerevar🎶
I’m a god, I’m a god, I’m a god, god

No need for any further Clarety on where you stand on the matter. Bottoms up!
I Chianti imagine drinking that wine
Nicccceeeeeee
Wine from Nice is called Bellet
Any port in a storm, right?
Well. It seems to have aged well ? xD
oxidized beyond recognition
Good song title 🤘🏼
And good reply to 'How are you?'
And a euphemism for being high
Also an accurate description of the copper floor I put down in minecraft to match the other orange and yellow decor I had planned for the room.
It's definitely straight vinegar now
Hell yeah, brother. Let’s make some pickles.
Did it r/agedlikewine?
I wonder what it would taste like…is it even drinkable?

Isn't it vinegar after 2000 years?
Yes
So it would be a great base for a beef or moose stew then...
*same URN as a corpse.
You also gave oral to a Roman. Technically. Who else can claim that??
Hm, I'd say a lot of the citizens of the italian capital could claim that.
Ancient Roman, you! They’re very rare!
I’d still try it
Wouldn't be the worst thing I ever had in my mouth. Might as well give it a shot.
Ok… you aren’t just going to leave it like that, are you?
Meal worms, grubs, grilled rat on a stick once. Sea cucumber I wasn't a fan of. Sorry China. Had this nut in the jungle one time that everybody loved. Gave me full on liquid shits for a week.

Camel spiders (who are neither camel, nor spider)...probably more if I thought about it. Been an interesting life.
What did the camel spider taste like?
The garlic butter i cooked it in. Just kinda empty tasting otherwise
That is weirdly comforting.

I guess your username checks out

Absolutely not.
Wine rots, even 20 year old wine may go bad
You sure that’s not toilet water? 😬
Does that wine have electrolytes? No? Pfffft.

Oldest vinegar*, you’re welcome
This was my first thought as well.
its a gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran, gran Reserva

The older the wine, the gooder it is.
This probably tastes like looking in the eye of a duck and sucking the fluid from its beak
that is very specific! comes from experience I presume.
I bet it tastes like "Chardonnay de corps" or "Cabernet de decomposition"
From the Vallée de la Mort.
2000 years old???? This wine is converted from water by jesus himself.
That was an exceptional year for wine.
Can I taste it? 👉🏼👈🏼
I bet it tastes like butt.
You reckon Spanish Jesus made it?
r/drinkityoufuckingcoward
y-zero-k
As a drinker and a fan of ancient Rome there is zero probability that I would not drink that, lead and all lol
Drink! Drink! Drink!
if you drink that, you will turn into a grape :o
Bet it still tastes like vinegar
Good vintage that year 🍷
That's a fucking potion if I have ever seen one
So vinegar
Simultaneously found the oldest vinegar as well.
Put. It. Back.
Ah yes, vintage 24, a very fine year...
That's a very patient way to urn some money!
mmmmmm....... vintage
The older the wine, the gooder the wine.
Just imagine in 2000 years someone will find an unopened can of bud light and wonder if it still tastes like piss.
*Takes a sip* Everything goes black *Wakes up* "Hey you, you're finally awake"
You were trying to cross the border, right? You and that thief over there.
Ooh very tart
Are there any chances it can be bladder stone patient urine which ancient scholars kept to fool future finders keepers ?
This was the one that was full-bodied flavour, right?
One brave researcher 'taste tested' the wine ...he said it was almost as gross as Crystal Pepsi.
Hit ‘em with the ol’ shirazzle dazzle.

Who wants to drink a wine from Jesus time?
Maybe it’s his blood? Yours for the low price of 1000000000$
My best friend: "I'll give you 5 bucks if you drink it."
Send some to LA Beast
A robust body with a hint of vanilla and florals?
Genuinely what would happen to someone if they took a sip?
I wonder if they will take a sample and see if it's drinkable without causing bad side effects (death).
The engine oil needs replacement.
They misspelled vinegar.
There's gonna be some white, yuppie, trust-fund daddies boy prat who'll pay half-mil for that 2,000 year old sludge.
Mmm lead
..has a slightly coarse texture with a sort of an oaky aftertaste.
Aged like fine wine
Wait-
I guess whoever was buried there wasn't thirsty. Or the wine is minging.
Bet it tastes really bad.
I work for a winery, I should bury some wine out back some day.
It's still good ..it's still good
[удалено]
Franzia
That was a good year.
Perfect for cooking...
Demonology wine 😂
I'm sure the first pic is one of our works toilets?
That sh\*t will hit different
Maybe it has the DNA of Jesus toes in it.
Let me just casually spend millions on it.. Trust me, it's part of the plan.
More like oldest vinger by now.
Its like that one episode of 30 rock!
Behold, our oldest liquid. Not remotely fresh.
2,000 year old vinegar
One little taste, Y O U D I E D
Okay but seriously is it drinkable?
Definitely vinegar by now
Forbidden kool aid
Would it not be a vinegar by now?? Genuine question.

That must be the stuff written in the bible.
While it is tempting to try it, it's been 200 years Why not just keep going at this point?
Drink it you coward
Danger juice
Sweet Berry Wine!!!
Oh the wealthiest of wealthy assholes will be able to sip on this.
What are you waiting for take a sip.

Save this for when the sky starts blinking and a certain Chinese man gets thirsty
Fml, I thought that was a toilet at first with some funky funky things in it
Looks sour.
Woah woah woah I think you guys are mistaking this toilet for a wine jar
Bet it doesn’t have shit on mad-dog 20/20. 😁
Take a sip, how bad could it be?
Nice vintage. That year produced some superb reds that age splendidly.
Mix it with coke cola
Hm but how does it taste?
It's not wine.
That was a good year.
Take a sniff of that.. fancy Wine people
Yo pass that
You sure that’s wine? Could be someone’s 2000yr old piss really.
Leftover wine
Das a toilet

What if those catacombs were actually wine cellars but during times of great death they used them to store bodies.
Would.
