A nice cup o' coins

I'm with Ken (@green18 ) wondering how bourbon tastes outta that cup. I was in the Louvre the other day and was thinking about liquor in all those Greek anchorage they have on display.

Did the Greeks make anything stronger than wine?

I don't remember reading that they did, although some of the their wines were very strong and most wines were drunk mixed with water.

For fun my wife bought me five bottles of good Greek wine for my birthday. Many came from the old Macedonia region. They still seem stronger (more alcoholic and more perceived kick) than your average wine.

 

It wasn't until our Arab fellows created distilled spirits, later on, that such concoctions were available. In the date of the cup perceived, there would only be wine. I can deal with that, as I do enjoy 'red'.........

 

Ironic that they're not allowed to drink it in mandate of Islamic Law.......

 

Wine .... hello, my ol' friend

 

They were a physical group.

 

A common mistake. The Arabs did not distill liquor. It was the Italians in the 13th Century who distilled wine. The Chinese also did so about the same time or earlier, but its debatable what it was.
