Carmona wine urn
World's oldest surviving wine (1st century CE)
Carmona wine urn
The Carmona wine urn is a first-century Roman glass urn containing intact wine. The urn was discovered in 2019 in Carmona, Spain during excavations of the city's western Roman necropolis. Analysis of the urn's contents five years after its discovery demonstrated the contents to be the oldest surviving liquid wine in the world. This surpasses the previous record holder, the Speyer wine bottle (discovered in 1867), by three centuries.
