Szabo on wine: On the trail of the most expensive wine in the Roman Empire
John Szabo, Master Sommelier for Canadian Family Offices, explores various wines such as Falernum, which was the great prestige wine of the late Roman Republic—arguably the first wine in history sold by vintage, cellared for decades and name-dropped in poetry. Pliny the Elder ranked it among the finest of all wines in his Naturalis Historia. Horace and Martial toasted it in verse.
The legendary Opimian vintage of 121 B.C.E. was still being poured, reverentially, a century after harvest. Its price survives on a tavern wall in Pompeii: the painted list in the Thermopolium of Vetutius Placidus offers ordinary wine for one as (a copper coin), better wine for two, and Falernian for four.

• Why he would consider investing new capital gradually over 12 to 24 months in the current market environment.
