Clergy loved South Africa`s oldest wine

The oldest wine produced in South Africa was apparently drunk by British clergymen in the 1800s, according to a report on Sunday.

The Sunday Times reported that the curator of a museum in Somerset, England, discovered a fragment of glass emblazoned with the words “t” among medieval pottery shards near the museum.

“I thought it was a woman’s name,” Barry Lane told Groot Constantia general manager Jean Naude in an e-mail last month.
