Would You Take a Sip of a 1,650 Year Old Wine ?
Ask a Question
This bottle of wine is said to be the oldest in existence and is about 1,650 years old and was found in a roman tomb
The experts are saying it it so well preserved because they used olive oil to seal it from the outside air
They are also saying you could drink this without becoming ill, but it might not taste too good
I think i would give it a miss, i have tried some really bad wines in the past and these have been less than a year old
This one looks like it is a bottle filled with mud
Not one for me

Jerseydrew As Harry Hill used to say J '' There's only one way to find out ''
But i think i will give it a miss
I'd give it a try if you paid me enough, wine is supposed to get better with age.
Imnotcheap That's true I but i suspect that means over a few years
This bottle looks like it contains mud slurry as i mentioned , maybe not so palatable as it was a thousand years ago
I don't even think the olive oil added has rescued it 
It's a definite no from me. I'm to scared to eat some thing a day over date, never mind that long.
telmel - I don't believe a single word of this article especially coming from an expert of course.
Incredible to find such a old well preserved bottle but it looks gross. Although I'm sure some drunken fool would try it.
Midnightflower Leave it in a nighclub toilet M and it would be empty within 5 minutes

I think you just came up with a new reality TV series, it would be much better than made in Chelsea!
No. Even if we’ll preserved inside just think what could be on the outside of container when poured. Could be all sorts of nasties.
Not in the slightest I can't imagine it would be nice and have never liked wine. I also don't drink so it's an extra no from me
If you want something more palatable, Roman wine has been recreated by following the methods described in various ancient texts. For example, academics from Poland found the wine they recreated 'was very intense, sweet, and spicy, so it was necessary to dilute the wine before consumption.' - www.mdpi.com/2571-9408/2/1/22
Maybe a more recent tipple would be more appealing. You could try to get hold of some 86 year old ale that was brewed for the Edward VIII coronation. When that was cancelled the bottles were left in a cellar - www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/greene-king-edward-viii-coronation-ale-auctioned-b1074783.html
