King Tut Liked Red Wine
       Ancient Egyptians believed in properly equipping a body for the afterlife, and not just through mummification. A new study reveals that King Tutankhamun eased his arduous journey with a stash of red wine.
      Spanish scientists have developed the first technique that can determine the color of wine used in ancient jars. They analyzed residues from a jar found in the tomb of King Tut and found that it contained wine made with red grapes.

"Der liebe Gott hat nicht gewollt, das edler Wein verderben sollt, drum hat er uns nicht nur die Lieben, nein – auch den nöt'gen Durst gegeben."

A rough translation is "The dear Lord did not intend that noble wine should be left to spoil. Therefore, he gave us not only the love – no, also the necessary thirst."
