2,000-Year-Old Wine Found in Roman Tomb

Researchers identify the world's oldest liquid wine, preserved with cremated remains in Spain.

The wine was discovered in a glass funerary urn in Carmona, Spain, during renovations in 2019.
Chemical analyses confirmed the liquid as white wine, now reddish-brown due to age.
The urn contained the cremated remains of a man, highlighting ancient Roman burial practices.
The tomb's exceptional preservation conditions prevented the wine from evaporating.
This discovery surpasses the previous oldest liquid wine, the Speyer bottle from Germany.
