Wouldn't it be great if we had all the wine ever produced in the world at our disposal?

It would take me hundreds of years to drink it all.

This one only holds 1200 gallons of the juice, which to some could be a slow weekend. :^)

Only hundreds of years, you say?

Might take considerably longer as you get to those boxed wines and $3 bottles...

“It would take me hundreds of years to drink it all.”

Probably more than that just from the Phoenician wines. Greek and Roman wines likely had as high as 15% or 20% ABV, compared with 10-12% or so in most modern wines. In general when you’re brewing anything, getting much above 10-15 % ABV requires specialty yeasts or concentration techniques, and getting above 18 % and close to 20 % is very difficult. But they did it on a regular basis. You would be spending a lot of time hung over and sick from it. Those percentages could produce alcohol poisoning real easy.
