What would have been a liberal estimate of the possible alcohol ABA or %? How much sugar would have been in it/L?
Even wine for Kings?

I worked with a guy who graduated with a history degree. l remember talking about wine and what it might have been like before modern times.
His main point was that people in ancient times would think we’re lush fools. Nobody would drink pure wine. It would have been watered down. Also the majority of modern wine is aged in oak barrels that usually get used for bourbon before being used for wine. so ancient people wouldn’t recognize the modern wine
That’s not true. The majority of wine is aged in standard oak barrels. Bourbon barrel-aged wine is a modern gimmick which is not at all common in the classic wine growing regions.
