There are better things in life than alcohol, but alcohol makes up for not having them.
The Oldest Wine
The wreck of the TITANIC holds the oldest wine cellar in the world and despite the depth and wreckage, the bottles are still intact.
Wine Toast
The word "toast," meaning a wish of good health, started in ancient Rome, where a piece of toasted bread was dropped into wine.
No Cork
As late as the mid-17th century, the French wine makers did not use corks. Instead, they used oil-soaked rags stuffed into the necks of bottles.
The Age of Oak
170 years is the average age of a French oak tree harvested for use in wine barrels.
