Could you drink a 1700 year old bottle of wine? #shorts

[MrJunk]

Only one man for the job. Paging LA Beast.

[Nah_im_good.]

The guy that pissed in the bottle 1700 years ago: 😊

I imagine it’s not even wine in there.

[DarlingDevilbaby]

It is inedible. Wine’s fermentation capacity is 1, 500 years, so you COULD drink it, but only if it was 1822 (to be safe) or if you want to meet the people that stores it 💀

[himssendol]

It’s a completely different ecosystem in there. 😂

Waiter-“sir how would you like your wine?”
Customer-“Forgotten”
Waiter- “AD or BC?”

at best a bottle that old would be vinegar.

Alcohol: It acts as a natural preservative, inhibiting the growth of most bacteria and spoilage organisms.
Acidity: Contributes to a wine's tartness and also creates an inhospitable environment for microbes.
Tannins: Found in red wines and some whites, tannins add structure and act as antioxidants, slowing down oxidation (wine turning to vinegar).
Sugar: In sweet wines, sugar creates a high osmotic pressure, making it difficult for microbes to thrive.
Storage conditions: Consistent, cool temperatures (ideally 53-57°F), darkness, and proper humidity (around 50-70%) are crucial for long-term storage.
Why 1, 500 years might be an outlier:

Quality plays a big role: Not all wines are created equal. Fine wines with excellent balance of the factors mentioned above have the best chance of aging well.
Taste evolution: While the wine won't necessarily spoil, its flavor profile will drastically change over centuries. Expect less fruitiness and more developed, tertiary aromas like leather, tobacco, or earthy notes. Not everyone enjoys this aged character.
Practicalities: Maintaining ideal storage conditions for centuries is incredibly challenging and expensive.
Rarity: Wines reaching such ages are extremely rare and valuable, often more for their historical significance than drinkability.
The Speyer Wine Bottle:

The 1, 500-year-old example you mentioned, the Speyer wine bottle, is indeed an exceptional case. The exact reasons for its longevity remain somewhat unknown, but likely include:

High-quality wine: Made from local grapes during Roman times, it likely had good balance of alcohol, acidity, and possibly tannins.
Sealed container: The glass bottle and dolphin-shaped handles might have provided excellent protection from air and contamination.
Consistent storage: Buried underground for centuries, it experienced stable temperature and darkness.
Remember, while some exceptional wines can technically persist for centuries, enjoying a well-aged wine within its recommended timeframe allows you to experience its intended flavor profile at its peak.

If they open it, it will try to bond with spiderman and eventually turn into some guy named venom

[claytonwilliams]

Hell No, it's spoiled, bad, rotten, disgusting It's freaking 1, 170 years old.
