Ancient and Modern Wine

[Lugorix]

Hi Julilla,
What a great response! I never knew they were watering it down so much. This has been very helpful.

Since were on the subject, I've seen some objects used for mixing the wine. Since these had strainers in them, my guess is that they were infusing(?) the drink with other things just prior to serving. If so, what could it be? Or is the strainer to catch any bits of pitch that get poured out?

Thanks.
