Recent research challenges the view of Roman wine as poor quality, suggesting it may have been comparable to fine wines today.
Fermentation in clay jars was a characteristic feature of Roman winemaking, with similarities to traditional Georgian qvevri production vessels.
Clay jars used in Roman winemaking are porous, exposing wine to limited air through pitched interiors, resulting in unique flavors like grassy and nutty notes.
