"The recent excavation of Meret-Neith's grave revealed the mud-brick tomb was lined with large wine jars, containing dried grape seeds, according to a press release from the University of Vienna.
Many of the wine jars were still sealed with the stoppers intact."
It's a shame it's not more specific, is there no wine left just the seeds from the mixture? Sure a CT scan would show liquid.
