    I was in the drink it camp right up until

    the experts found bone remains and a gold ring at the bottom of the glass vessel.

    It must have been a bone dry white wine though

      I’ve had homemade distilled rice wine before that had tobacco leaves, a starfish, and a lizard in the bottle. It was actually really good.
