The oldest unopened bottle of wine in the world

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-26 16:54:11

Image by Immanuel Giel, via Wiki­me­dia Com­mons It’s an old TV and movie trope: the man of wealth and taste, often but not always a supervil­lain, offers his dis­tin­guished guest a bot­tle of wine, his finest, an ancient vin­tage from one of the most ven­er­a­ble vine­yards. We might fol­low the motif back at least to Edgar Allan Poe, whose “Cask of Amon­til­la­do” puts an espe­cial­ly devi­ous spin on the trea­sured bottle’s sin­is­ter con­no­ta­tions.

Imagine the typical everyday scenario in which you have been imprisoned in the wine cellar of an evil combinatorialist. She promises to let you go, but only if you can solve her riddle. “Is it the one where there are 1000 barrels of wine and one of them is poisoned?” “Uh, maybe? Do you already know the answer to that one?” “…” You’re lead past a conspicuous amount of barrels and into a new room where you’re given a bottle of wine and four measuring devices.

Turns Out, Sniffing Your Wine Isn't Just for Show

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-12 18:00:10

Ordering wine can feel like a performance if you're not a seasoned sipper. There's the swirling, the sniffing, the obligatory nod after a tiny pour, and it's easy to assume it's all just for show or to see if you like the wine. But that initial sample isn't about taste at all. It's a quality check. That first pour is your chance to make sure the wine hasn't gone bad. Sometimes, bottles can spoil-especially if they've been improperly stored or have a faulty cork-and the result is something calle

No, That Taste of Wine a Server Offers Is Not to See if You Like It. Here's Why

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-06 20:33:03

Ordering wine at a restaurant shouldn't be a stressful occasion, but there is plenty of language and ritual associated with wine that can feel foreign to the casual drinker. One such practice is the obligatory tasting after the bottle is opened and before it's poured for you and your guests. Despite what you -- and many others -- might think, this is not really to determine if you like the wine, but rather, to ensure the wine is not spoiled or "corked." Because of that, you don't even need to s
