Andreia is an archaeologist and museum curator, working principally with the Art of Drinking Museum at the World of Wine in Porto, which holds more than 3,500 drinking vessels dating back 9,000 years. This episode was recorded and filmed in the museum, along with eight selected artefacts taken from the display cabinets that together total more than 20,000 years of human drinking history.

Expert to learn how the Egyptians drank wine, how the Greek Symposium evolved into the Roman Triclinium, the interesting innovations in drinkware that were going on in Mesoamerica 3,000 years ago, how the Germans played drinking games 400 years ago, and much more.

This episode was an absolute privilege to record and I want to thank all of the team at WOW in Porto, but especially Andreia herself whose passion and knowledge of this collection speaks for itself.
