It surprises me the sort of conclusions that some scientists draw from data. Considering that modern people in prison make wine from grape juice and old pieces of bread, why would random people living in isolation 4000 years ago not make their own wine?
As far as vessels, anecdotally, I make fancy wine glasses, but personally drink wine out of coffee cups from the thrift store or whatever is handy.
- jiofih 7y agoStandard HN comment stuff. Making comments ignoring the gist of the article, check. Sorry for the sarcasm, here are the relevant quotes: > There is no evidence of grape seeds or winemaking in central Europe, the authors note, so it must have been imported > Tartaric acid is usually considered to be a grape product/wine marker because of its high concentration in grapes in contrast to other fruits available in Europe during the Early Iron Age

- code_duck 7y agoThank you for devoting your valuable time to setting me straight. Complaining about the quality of HN comments while commenting on HN is pretty standard HN comment stuff.
- dmurray 7y agoThe article refers specifically to people in modern-day Germany drinking grape wine imported from Mediterranean countries.
