The oldest thing is a 17th century English oak coffer. My favorite old things are the Victorian glass bottles that we dug up in our garden in England, when we were erecting 186 ft. of post and rail fencing (after purchasing land from the adjoining field).

I have a great recipe for the home made stuff, although I've not made it in a long time. I don't like the store bought stuff.

Still, I prefer mulled wine. Kind of a tradition for me to make it on Christmas Eve....
