I have a Greek amphora. It is a little different design, but about the same age. It is on a stand in my kitchen window right now.

The U.S. government may get it’s hand on the wine jugs & claim it for use against the latest Covid variants. Who’s to say it won’t work until it’s tried?

The 277 B.C. is an outstanding vintage.

Probably tastes like Bud Light by now.

Interesting. Wonder how it would stack up to a couple of my old time favroites from back in the day when we would try to grab whatever we could with a fake ID.

Anyone who has picked raspberries knows the neon blue ones have the finest flavor.

Wine does keep remarkably well but 2,300 year old wine, while it won’t hurt you, will be sadly lacking in the taste department.
Even 1,000 year old wine will taste “skunky.”

Knowing nothing about how well sealed these jars were, the vintage might be a tad salty.

Made in the 1960s, and bought on a tourist trip to Greece?
