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.

Eventually somebody will open it and drink it on YouTube.

Wouldn’t suprise me if you could buy something like this at Beverages & More or Total Wine ... or perhaps by the case at Costco.

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.

And thanks, I'll have a little cheese with that. This stuff's Chinese and it's 3600 years old.

They just excavated some cheese from Croatia that's twice that age but they didn't publish a picture. I bet they ate it at a drunken faculty party.

When I used to get within an inch of the worm, I’d pass the bottle to someone else, with a caveat.

Romans didn't always cremate their dead, that's what's going on here.
