Inside Text: From the Vine... In ancient times, wine was stored in a clay vase called an amphora. The typical amphora looked like a root vegetable with a long neck. The bottom was never flat rather it was pointed or knob-like. Amphora's had special stands, usually tripods. Both the amphora and its tripod were sturdy enough to survive sea voyages, which facilitated the trade of wine throughout the Mediterranean. The amphora also kept wine for long periods of time if properly sealed and was critical to the advancement of the wine trade.
