Cea mai veche sticla de vin

The bottle dates from approximately 325 A.D. This bottle was one of several found in the sarcophagus, but is the only one with the contents still preserved.

The greenish-yellow glass amphora has handles formed in the shape of dolphins. The ancient liquid has much silty sediment. About two-thirds of the contents are a thick, hazy mixture. This is most probably olive oil, which Romans commonly used as a preservative for wine. The oil was layered atop the wine to preserve it from oxidation. Cork closures, although used at the time, were uncommon.

The bottle is on permanent display at the Historisches Museum der Pfalz near the town of Speyer, Germany.

Un pahar de vin

A box of wine is portable, but not classy. Stemware is classy, but not portable. But in a stroke of mad genius, inventor James Nash has combined the two to revolutionize drinking on the go. Cheers! Meet the Tulip.

Nash's company, Wine Innovations, has been selling these babies like hotcakes at about $3.40 a glass. Which isn't bad for the quantity: each sealed, recyclable container holds 187.5ml (about six ounces) of vino.
