Greetings
I am certain that I have read (somewhere) that cork was used as a stopper/ lid on amphorae
and other bottles in the ancient era but I am being told that I must be dreaming. 'They' say that cork lids are not used until the 17th century ce.
Can anybody wake me from this nightmare of doubt and likely delusion? :roll:
