Wine vessels

Weingefäße

Are vessels for the storage of wine and other alcoholic beverages there, since they are produced. Even the Egypt were mainly in Greece and Rome Amphora usually made of clay that were internally coated with resin. When the Romans were already closing as the Cork used. But also of bronze vessels were common in ancient times, in 1952, was the grave of a Burgundian princess found a 1.64 meters high from the finest bronze kettle that was used for transporting wine from Greece. In ancient Greece, no barrels were known, but the Greek historian Herodotus 482-425 BC) tells of those in the city of Babylonia , which were made ​​of palm wood. It is considered almost certain that the Celts as early as 600 BC, extensively used wooden barrels for transport and have the Greeks and Romans have then taken this skill from them. Julius Caesar (100-44 BC) barrels only learned on his Gallipoli campaign of 50 BC, and know Pliny (23-79 AD) described it as an unknown for his Roman contemporaries vessel. At this time the Romans have only begun to use wooden storage containers especially made of fir wood.

In the ancient city Pompeii That was destroyed 79 AD by the eruption of Vesuvius, were found remains of barrel-like container made of wood. Wooden barrels were probably from the middle of the third century, widely used for marine transportation. This is suggested by the fact that as of this date regarding wine shipping in the form of archaeological finds of pottery like amphorae, or at least fragments of pottery in shipwrecks are becoming increasingly rare. The likely oldest wines Glass and Cork achieved a tremendous improvement in quality. Wine was now much more durable, and he continued to develop in the bottle. Nevertheless, the bottling until well into the 20th Century rather the exception than the rule.

By the year 2009, which came into force in EU wine market organization also resulted in changes regarding the wine containers. Previous practice of allowing only quality wines in glass bottles, barrels or sintered ceramic vessels sold to the consumer. In order to increase competitiveness with third countries, the provision was deleted. Wine may therefore now be unlimited in a variety of containers such as, for example, Bag-in-Box or Tetra Pak be filled.
