White wine? Sounds racist too me. Did this info get Queen Kambala giggling and jiggling?

[iluvschnitzle]

Skeletal remains in wine?

I’m surprised the writers didn’t use ‘ZERO’ instead of ‘One’...............

I’m wondering if maybe the remains of the others, not encased in wine were SLAVES, ceremonially killed, to go with their master and serve him in the afterlife?...Or did such practices exist in Rome at that time?................

1971, bottom of a lake, I found an 1857 bottle of beer, with contents intact.

The bottle “cap” was a cork, surrounded by wax, and that, surrounded by metal foil, and that, had a metal wire mesh snugged up around it.

With the bottle upright, about 3/8 inch of black material floated on top of the beer.

Very soon after, along came a movie:

“The Andromeda Strain”

I promptly tossed the bottle into the trash.

The bottle included a label as part of the glass. I located the brewery - it was still standing at an old seafaring port. IIRC, the brewery was built in 1851.

The port also had one of the original marine hardware stores - an amazing collection of old sailing ships’ gear. Lots of brass, bronze, and copper fasteners and fittings.

Shelves and wood drawers stacked up to the ceiling on both sides of that store. Long ladders on rails that you could move along - like in an old library.

I just happed by that store, when they were doing an annual inventory . . . that was to be their last.

No, but ironically, turns out, the wine had gone bad, they made the toast, and, kerpow!

Don’t you mean the oldest white vinegar ever found?

Drowned in a vat of wine?

To quote W.C. Fields:

"Death, where is thy sting?"

“...and the remains of fabrics, with initial analyses seeming to indicate that they were of silk...”

Silk, which comes only from one place....CHINA.... Te Romans had commercial contact with China 2000+ years ago..........

It was well sealed...................
