Spanish archaeologists have discovered a reddish liquid while exploring an ancient Roman tomb in Carmona.

The drink was supposedly called wine and then chemically analyzed. It is possible that it will even be possible to taste it in the future.

In 2019, Spanish scientists discovered the world's oldest wine preserved in liquid form, the Journal of Archaeological Science reports.

The vessel was discovered in 2019 in a Roman tomb that served as a burial place for two people.

A chemical analysis confirmed that the liquid was wine and the oldest in the world.

Moreover, biochemical analysis confirmed that the drink is not toxic, meaning that theoretically it can be tried.

Initially it was a white wine, but over the years a red tint appeared, and bone remains were also found in the container.

It is believed that the discovery by Spanish scientists will be recognized as older than the bottle found in Speyer, dated to 325 AD.

But research in this direction is not over yet.
