  • In the basement of the old building of the hospital in Strasbourg, there is the oldest wine in the world kept in wooden barrels, broadcast by Radio France Bleu today.

    It is Alsatian white wine from 1472, he added, adding that scientists from Burgenland and Munich were testing wine and found that wine was degusted on very rare occasions, only three times.

    It was the first time in 1718 at the opening of the hospital building in Strasbourg, the second time in 1944 when the liberation of the city was celebrated, and the third time in 1976 during the celebration of the agreement on cooperation between Zurich and Strasbourg.

    In 2014, the wine was transferred to a stainless steel reservoir, and a year later it was returned to the wooden castle, where it could be preserved for the next 250 years.

    Frans ble on his site published photos of a huge wooden burette with medieval wine and the inscription of the year of production, 1472.

    Other details about this wine have not been announced.
