Wouldn't this be interesting to taste? An ancient Roman amphora, which was found and later misplaced in Spain in 1960, only to be recently found again, is believed to contain wine. The seal on the vessel should have preserved what is inside.Roman amphora full of wine found in AndalusiaI recall hearing that, when Jacques Cousteau recovered some ancient vessel full of wine from the sea, he tasted it and it basically tasted like garbage. Besides any chemical change that might take place in wine over the course of 2000 years, I think that the composition of ancient wine was different than what is produced in vineyards today.

I wonder if, after the bottle started leaking, they saved the wine still contained in the bottle and drank up. If that were my bottle, I probably would have!
