Shokmelt Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 https://aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de/english/research/meteorite-crater-discovered-in-french-winery/?fbclid=IwAR2nC826rmSu2EPKrPHKBmbpD-j1UuES4yXBQRlM9qrHhTSRPOAZ122I Should have bought several caes of this wine back when I first heard that they were selling it. That would have been a good investment. This article doesn't mention an estimated age for the crater, but the surrounding area might be a good place to swing a detector. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knowing when,,, (how long ago)...the photo in that article was taken,or how old the GE imagry is, can make it difficult, Here's an overhead photo...don't know when this was taken either.

Shokmelt Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 (edited) Here's the iron/nickel fortified product... https://www.domainedumeteore.com/our-story/ I presume the one labeled 'Le Meteore' is from the grapes grown in the crater.

After going through their website more thoroughly, I see that they also have a wine labled 'Le Cratere', also from the grapes in the crater I guess. They also offer wines named after certain meteor showers, and if you click on 'The Meteor'... more pics of the crater. Cheers...
