By Stuart Walton, Hugh Johnson| The World of Fine Wine Verified Stuart Walton on the contents of the 2,000-year-old glass urn discovered at a Roman necropolis in Carmona near Seville. For well over a century, it was believed that the oldest surviving wine to come to light through archaeological excavations was the so-called Speyer bottle.
By Hugh Johnson| Decanter Verified I have a few. I used to brag that I’d taste anything that came with a cork; these days I’m a bit more conservative. Fizz comes very high on my comfort list – and not necessarily Champagne. England has a dozen labels these days that give me the refreshment and uplift I’m looking for. I find people often complain that ‘it’s just as expensive as Champagne’. Not far off, I grant you, but then it has the same costs, above all fermentation in the bottle and all the handling that entails.
