Overview
THE EXHIBITION Drink and be Merry: Wine and Beer in Ancient Times, chronicling nearly 5,000 years of bacchanalia and libation, first seen at the Israel Museum last year, opens next week at New York's Jewish Museum. The exhibits, mainly from the Israel Museum and the Antiquities Authority, date from between the fourth millennium BCE and the seventh century CE when consumption of alcoholic beverages declined with the spread of Islam. Among the more spectacular artifacts having either religious or secular significance is a portion of the Dead Sea Scroll referring to the ancient Festival of Tirosh (the new wine); and jars bearing the seal of King Herod attesting to his penchant for imported Italian wines. The New York version of this exhibition, which includes a reconstruction of an ancient wine store, is sponsored by Joseph E. Seagram & Sons Inc. On view till November 5.
