| Description | That's me, posing near historic kegs of port and wine bottles with a period label. All in all, it was pretty atmospheric in there, and I didn't want to leave so soon! We had to though, as it was closing time. The exact construction date of the vaults is unknown, but it is suspected to be around the early part of the nineteenth century. The builders constructed the vaults of stone and fired red brick. It is said that in 1679,a Portuguese ship carrying port broke its moorings and drifted at sea where she encountered French pirates. To save the cargo, the ship was eventually rescued and brought to St. John's, where it's cargo was successfully stored. A year later, the ship reached England with her precious cargo. That's when the British discovered that the wine stored in St. John's had acquired a superb and distinct flavour. Hence started the tradition of ageing wine here in St. John's.
