This Wine Barrel Was Opened After 100 Years; Can You Guess Its Cost?

There can be nothing better than a well-paired wine with a delectable meal on the table. Wine enthusiasts say that the more it ages, the better it tastes. But the question lies: for how many years should a manufacturer age the drink to get the ideal flavour? Recently, a video is doing the rounds on the internet that shows what wine that has been stored for about a century would look like. While the probability of stumbling upon this is rare, the clip will surely leave you wondering.

This viral video claims to show a wine barrel that is approximately 100 years old. A content producer known as Indian Foodie Rocks took to Instagram to post a video of the opening of this unique wine barrel. The video shows a person first removing the barrel cover with a sharp knife-like tool. The barrel’s mouth, which appears to be enveloped in leaves, is gradually opened. Finally, with the assistance of a cochlear, the individual removes a serving of wine from the barrel.

This interesting clip has captured the attention of the internet. Currently, the video has received over 10 million views and many reactions.

A user said, “That’s God’s Wine.” While many others joked that this ancient wine has the potential to get a person drunk. An individual commented, “Yep first sip I went see who made that drink,” while others straightforwardly wrote, “This will knock you out.”

Some also wondered how the person who actually made this barrel never got to taste it. “Imagine fermenting wine for this long just to never taste it,” said the user.

Many wine enthusiasts argued that the barrel shown in the clip was more than 100 years old. While some said that it could date back to a 1000 years, many said that a century-old barrel was not ancient enough. A user commented, “That is way older than 100 years. We’ve been bottling wine for longer than that.”

The older the wine bottle, the costlier it gets. Upon seeing the video, a user wondered how much this barrel would cost. “Do you imagine how much this will cost?” read the comment.

Although most people were amazed, some also felt that the video was fake. A user pointed out, “That’s not 100 years old! Who are you kidding?”
