Hands off, Euros.
I thought they were recreating wine from water?
I hope they make it in red, too. My wife and I enjoyed some delicious Israeli reds on our trip there in 2013.
Cool
I guess it is possible but King David was more than a thousand years before 200 A.D. That is a long time to account for in grape production.
Mogan David has been around forever. LOL
“I guess it is possible but King David was more than a thousand years before 200 A.D. That is a long time to account for in grape production.”
Yes, but conceptually very cool. I would definitely like to try it.
Which reminds me, I still have a bottle that I bought from the Mount of the Beatitudes by the Sea of Galilee that is called The Wedding Wine of Cana. Have to remember and open it.
They are trying to produce the same dates as well.
Aw, they will probably blend with Gallo overrun..... :-)
That’s so cool!
Hope they can recreate what made the head steward at the Cana feast say, “you have kept the best wine till now”.
He was chastising the bridegroom for saving the good stuff for when the guests were already too snockered to appreciate it.

Interesting. Not quite sure how you recreate them, I assume through the plant equivalent of back breeding. The Reich tried that with several extinct breeds, horse, oxen, cattle and the like. But recent extinctions. Don’t think they were particularly successful. Interesting concept
I recalled Jesus saying He wouldn’t drink wine again until He comes back. I wonder if He’ll like this one.
It was explained to me by our tour guide about 6 years ago in Israel. They found 2000 year old date seeds and tested the DNA. Then they grafted the seeds and tried other ways to get the seeds to germinate.
Amazingly, they got at least on seed to germinate and produced a date palm from it. I am assuming they did the same to some grape vines or grape pits found in an excavation.
I would LOVE to taste those dates. The dates of ancient Israel were supposed to be so full of date honey that it could be collected if the dates were placed in a bowl.

Yes very interesting. I would also love to try a glass. Just to see what the quality was back then.
G’luck with that.
