What Wine Could Survive 200 years A QUESTION: I, being a "True Neophyte" to wine, am current trying to write a story about a bottle of Wine, Laid down in 1759 and rediscovered in 1970. The details I can give you is that the Wine will be grown and produced in LAMBESC, FRANCE The bottle will be corked and sealed with sealing wax and be found latter in a underground tomb in Holland, where the average temperature is as perfect as it could get for wine, between 56 and 58 degrees constant, laid upon it side. My question is what wine should I make it (be it Red or White) that would have been produced during the 18th century and might survive intact till 1970. and still be drinkable at the end of my story????????? The story will surround the search for this bottle, as well as other items stolen from the tomb, so I hope to pick your Collective Brains, as people that may know Wines of France far better than I. I need suggestions for the Wine itself, as the Label and the Vineyard will be completely fictional, the type of grapes produced in this region, what wines has been known to survive until this day and age. With the best of writer's intentions ... in being historically accurate I remain, RbuttILON
