This one looks to be in my area of interest.

Mine too!

I wonder how much you'd have to donate to get a personal dive?

Apropos of nothing, I re-watched that Helen of Troy documentary with Bettany Hughes; she and an archaeologist discussed the analysis of some Mycenaean jars which had been used for a mixture of retsina, barley beer, and honey mead. So of course they had to try it, and both praised the flavor. Of course, it must be pretty potent. Maybe this is what Homeric characters were doing when they’re described as “mingling wine” (it’s generally thought it refers to dilution with water).
