It has been considered that the wine drank by the ancient Romans was a poorly made wine, without body and with an unpleasant taste. But the work that researchers at the universities of Ghent and Warsaw have published in Antiquity has provoked the withdrawal of this belief.

The ancient Romans made wine in large tinas, called Dolias, which waterproofed with tar, controlling the contact of the beverage with the air and, buried, controlling the temperature during fermentation.

Georgia currently uses a similar method for wine making. All this has led to the conclusion that the Romans were more vinists than they believed
