People often do not like old things. But when it comes to wine, the matter turns upside down. Actually, it is said about wine that the older it is, the higher its price. But what if the wine is not a hundred or two hundred years old but two thousand years old. Let us tell you about the oldest wine in the world in this article today. Along with this, we also tell where humans found the oldest wine in the world.
2000 year old wine
Carmon is a city in Spain. This city is one of the oldest cities in the world. When a family was renovating their house here, they found a grave under their house. This grave was about 2000 years old. It was a Roman tomb. When it was opened, it contained many things. Like funeral items, rotten bones of a human being and a brown liquid of about 5 liters in a jar. When this liquid was tested, it was found to be thousands of years old wine.
How is this wine made?
This brown liquid is wine, it was identified by organic chemist Jose Rafael of Cordoba University and his team. When these people tested the wine, they found out that this wine was made from the juice of many types of fruits. The researchers were most surprised by how this wine was kept in such a way in that period that it is still preserved. This wine broke the record of the wine found in a Roman tomb near Speyer in Germany in 1867. The wine found here was 1700 years old.
How to make wine in the grave
In today’s time, it may seem strange to you to keep something like wine in the grave. But centuries ago, this was a tradition in Roman civilization.

The Roman people believed that by doing this they were showing respect to their loved ones. Even today, such traditions are followed in many places.
