Do you like wine? You probably know that Chile is one of the top wine-producing countries in the world. In 2009 it was the 9th highest producer of wine. Italy and France claimed number 1 and 2. You may also know that good wine gets better as it ages. How do you like your wine? Bubbly? Red? White? Rosé? With a good meal? How about when you add a 4.5 billion year old rock to the bottle?
Huffington Post reports that a Chilean vineyard in Cachapoal Valley has created a wine infused with a meteorite found in the Atacama desert. It made its crash landing there almost 6,000 years ago and is now being blended with red wine to create Meteorito. For now it’s only available at the winemaker/astronomer Ian Hutcheon’s observatory. However, there are plans to export this one-of-a-kind wine. That being said, don’t expect to see this at the Santiago Pub Crawl any time soon.
