Ancient Greek taverns were frequented by everyday people and offered wine. Depending on the size and quality of the tavern, some food was also available, and several distractions such as dice games could take place. The drink of choice of the ancient Greeks was wine mixed with water, while the Thracians, Egyptians, and Scythians brewed and drank beer. The wine was put in storage in amphorae, and their shape betrayed the region they came from. Once an amphora was opened, the wine would be decanted into a mixing bowl. Ancient wine was much stronger than today’s and reached as high as 16 percent alcohol. It was always mixed with water, with one part wine to three parts water being the preferred admixture. Like wine today, it came in three different types, dry, sweet, and medium-sweet, and could be red, white, or rosé.
