How Much Could One Of These Bottles Of Wine Sell For?


when it returns to earth,


I do not know what the wine is, so just a photograph of myself with a red, but I am guessing not this one, but twelves bottles of wine are inside a Northrup Grumman resupply rocket, along with other essential supplies for the International Space Station. Unfortunately, the wine isn’t part of the astronaut’s supplies. The wine was sent by French startup Space Cargo Unlimited for a project meant to study the effects of space on wine aging, aptly named  “Vitis Vinum in Spatium Experimentia” (“Wine Grape in Space Experiment.”). Futurism has the details: For the next twelve months, the wine will remain on the ISS, sealed in its glass bottles, while samples from the batch age simultaneously back on Earth. After the space wine returns to Earth, the researchers will analyze both samples to determine how space aging affects the fermentation process of wine, including a bit of taste testing to see how flavors may have changed, according to Space Cargo Unlimited’s website, the mission is “the first privately lead comprehensive research program on the ISS” to focus “on the future of agriculture for a changing Earth.” just a thought, in the article I remember reading that NASA is becoming short of cash, so why not put a few bottles of wine up for auction? you never know they could fetch out of this world prices!
