You may know someone who would drink out of a wet sock.

But would they drink something that's over 1.650 years old?

There might be a night where you raid the cupboards and fridge looking for a little tipple, but the only thing you can get your hands on is something that has gone past its best before date.

But would you drink the world's oldest bottle of wine that dates back over 1,650 years.

Ladbible report, the priceless bottle of wine was brewed in the 4th century at some point between 325 and 359 CE, experts believe.

To put that into other words, that was about 600,000 days ago.

It was one of 16 such bottles - the only in tact, mind - discovered in 1867 during the excavation of a Roman nobleman and noblewoman's tomb in what is now Germany, in the city of Speyer.

What's left of the wine now is a clear, non-alcoholic liquid, and a solid rosin-like substance.

Would you take a sip?
