Amphorae were used to store and transport wine to Pharaonic and Greco-Roman Egypt. In Mesopotamia, kings placed the wines that were delivered to them in amphorae housed in large cellars. They were closed by terracotta lids, sealed with clay, plaster or pitch. Our Amphore range pays homage to the civilization of wine.SARL
