That "reconstructed" roman wines reminds me my grandfather´s village wine. They are called "vinos turbios de pitarra"(pitarra cloudy wine).The wine plants are grow, more or less wild, in little terraces, some not more than 10 sq. meters. When it´s time, they recollect and put the juice in ceramic "tinajas" or earthenware jars between 1-2 meters high.

Then they kept it closed, and what you get is a reddish-brown-yellowish (all in one glass, as is not cleaned or clarified) wine. Until the invention of vacuum plastic liquid bags it was impossible to carry it 5 Km. away from the village, as it got sour. At least some roman wine traveled better than this one...
And they still say is the best thing of that village!
I disagree with this, the Pata Negra (Black-leg) pig´s cured ham is better...but that it´s the fastest way of having a discussion. :lol:
I hope none of there is reading this and reads my real name (sometimes is not a good idea...) :roll:
