No offense, but the contents look nasty.

I don’t drink and I can honestly say that does not tempt to imbibe.

White wine? Looks like a pale red to me, complete with the “mother”.

Oh, I had one of those, I poured that nasty crap out and threw it in the recycling bin.
Oops.

There was an episode of Pawn Stars where a customer brought in a very very old bottle wine. He was crushed when Rick told him the wine was almost certainly no good any more and the only value there was the bottle as a collectable.

Romans cremated their dead. I don’t understand the burial thing here.

Looks bad but I’ve drank worse. A bottle of ripple when I was 17.........A night to remember and a morning after I’ll never forget.

There’s some nasty stuff growing on the bacteria in that bottle, and best stay closed.

Certainly not drinkable, but a sample could be taken using an atmosphere of inert gas like argon and then analyzed. It would be neat to know the DNA pedigree of the grapes.

What the heck is that bottle of wine doing in a museum? It should be turned over to Frasier's wine club, where it can be properly analyzed.
