The 1,600-year-old Roman wine bottle no one dares to open; world’s oldest unopened wine
A Roman wine bottle, sealed for an astonishing 1,600 years, was unearthed from a tomb in Speyer, Germany. Though it still holds liquid, experts are reluctant to open it, fearing the integrity of this archaeological treasure could be compromised. Notably, the liquid inside has chemically transformed over the centuries, losing its alcoholic properties, thus providing invaluable insight into ancient winemaking traditions.
