You may have hard the news that archaeologists have discovered a 1,400-year-old wine press in Southern Israel -- 25 miles south of Jerusalem -- an area which was once part of the Byzantine Empire. According to the scientists, the exceptionally large size of the press -- measuring 21 feet by 54 feet -- suggests that it was used to produce wine for export to Egypt, or Europe.
But, could these archeologists have the story all wrong?
To any "Lost" devotee, the unique octagonal shape of the press and its proximity to Egypt and Tunisia will bring to mind the work of the Dharma Initiative. Above is an artist's rendering of a possible Dharma logo for this intriguing wine-making hatch.
Is this where Dharma Merlot was produced? Is Desmond down there in that hole uncorking a bottle every 108 minutes? Could this be the key to unlocking the mysteries of "Lost"?
Namaste.

It could have been used, since it goes back to the Byzintine era as a way to produce wine for liturgical uses.

“found in the rubble” (pictured bottle of wine)
That wine belongs in rubble! There are so many better kosher
wines out there but my dad insists on having Manischewitz concord grape every Passover. We all drink other wine.
