The discovery of an especially fine, amber-colored wine, with aromas of walnuts and spice, along with an estimated alcohol content of about 11 percent, is one such variety!

For instance, one bog body, unearthed in 1835, was thought to have belonged to a legendary Viking queen from the 8th century AD by the name of Gundhilde. Subsequent research on bog bodies, however, have shown that this practice had existed at an earlier period of time.
