10. The Oldest Wine in the World
Found Year: 2012 Estimate. Value: Not disclosed
What could be the oldest wine in the world has been found in a Sicilian cave beneath ancient terracotta jars. This discovery refutes earlier theories and places the beginning of winemaking in Italy more than three millennia in the past. Prior to this, scientists thought that Italy was the birthplace of winemaking around 1200 BCE.

Evidence now suggests that fermented wine was produced and consumed in the area more than 6,000 years ago, which changes our perspective of ancient viticulture and emphasizes the continuing importance of antiquated customs in Italy’s rich cultural past.
