Where can the oldest bottle of wine be located?

Answer 1

WORLD'S OLDEST BOTTLE of WINE

Unearthed during excavation for building a house in a vineyard near the town of Speyer, Germany, it was inside one of two Roman stone sarcophaguses that were dug up. The bottle dates from approximately 325 A.D. and was found in 1867.

The greenish-yellow glass amphora has handles formed in the shape of dolphins. One of several bottles discovered, it is the only one with the contents still preserved.

The ancient liquid has much silty sediment. About one-third of the contents are a thicker, hazy mixture. This is most probably olive oil, which the Romans commonly used to "float" atop wine to preserve it from oxidation. Cork closures, although known to exist at the time, were quite uncommon. Their oil method of preservation was apparently effective enough to keep the wine from evaporation up to modern day.

The bottle is on permanent display, along with other wine antiquities, at the Historisches Museum der Pfalz (History Museum of the Pfalz), which is worth a virtual visit or an actual one, if traveling near the area of Speyer, Germany.

816 years is the oldest bottle, it is a Ode'Licious (Greek methologist term for Rose wines). It was sold for $100 000 000 in an auction in 1993 To Lord Arohl Ganster of West Yorkshire. Unfortunatley he recently died (2006) and the bottle has been passed down to his oldest Son Sir Yert Ganster. It has been reported that he is thinking about selling it to an anonomous Frenchman.
