I'm not really knowledgeable on alcohol, but googling around for 20 minutes would suggest that wine can't realistically stay good, even in great storage conditions, for more than a few decades. So when the sellers said it tasted perfect and not like vinegar, and voluntarily drank half the bottles, it makes me wonder why everyone believed they were actually 2 centuries old in the first place.
They were probably bribed, if he Had the Money to have those engravings made, he had enough to buy the Statements. But as it is, buying hundred Year old or more Wine Bottles is more an Appeal Collection than an Consume Collection.
2 fun facts from Italy about wine: - If you are in Italy near Chieti (A province in Abruzzo) stop by Ortona: there is a fountain from which spills free red wine all year round (I went there once, the wine was actually really good); there are other wine fountains in Italy, but they are only available during certain events. - There is a legend of a ghost living in the cellars of the Castle of Montevecchio, in Tuscany; he was the owner of the castle, a passionate winemaker, and supposedly he inspects the quality of the wine in the cellars and the vineyards of the area.
So, funny thing is, I actually knew about the ginger thing prior to seeing that video. i learned it from Terry Prachett's discworld novel "Night Watch". Not only does it get a quick mention early in the book when the main character is talking to a street kid about the meaning of slang terms and gthe phrase "Fleague a jade" comes up (a jade being an old broken down horse), but it actually becomes a major story point later (with hilarious results). and funnily enough, to the bit about doing it to a person, the book also references "The Ginger Beer Trick". basically one of the (many and horrible) ways an unsavory group of corrupt cops would get confessions out of people.
On the wine warermelon thing. Something similar happened in with tomatos. It was believed for a long while that tomatos were poisonous. People would try to cook them and get very sick. Which is wierd because if you fried them or ate them raw they were fine. They found out that a chemical inside of tomatos would combine with copper to create a poison. And at the time, most pots and kettles were copper while most pans were cast iron. Once steel pots and pans became more common then tomatos started to be used in dishes. This does mean that tomatos in Italian food is more of a late 19th early 20th century thing because you would literally poison yourself by cooking with them before then.
I remember ŕeading that another reason was because tomatoes were part of the same family as Deadly Nightshade, which had incredibly poisonous flowers and berries.
It was actually lead that caused it. More specifically the early pewter plates which used tin and lead as the alloy, that and lead paints. The citric acid would leech lead from the pewter and paints causing toxic lead poisoning.
8:00 ehhhh, could also be Percherons. Potential fun fact: the percherons are the preferred draft horse of the Amish. If you see an Amish in the fields with big horses, those horses are probably some flavor of percheron. The horses that pull their buggies are typically Standardbreds, or quarter horses.
One myth that i always hated, was the "don't go for a swim within 30 minutes of having eaten"... It's still being spread today, in most of the world, but it's completely unfounded, and literally no incidents of drowning or near drowning has ever been linked to when the person last ate! At worst it's a non-factor, and in some cases it's speculated that not having eaten before a swim might activly be harmful, as it makes you more prone to things like cramps and not having the energy to keep yourself above water on an empty stomach. There isn't a lot of overall research on the subject, but the professional consensus right now is "it makes no real difference"...
Im torn on the Koch wine bit. On the one hand, it makes me immensely happy that if someone were to be scammed out of money, it would be the Koch family, even if it is just a single drop of the ocean. I am also very glad that he experienced the unhappiness of being scammed. On the other hand, I still feel upset at the scammer for being a piece of shit scammer.
And the scammer did it multiple times btw. What's worse is the auctioneer who Allowed the fraud to happen never got any repercussions to him assisting with the fraud. Broadbent even filed a lawsuit to the publisher who wrote a book about it and won.
I really do not get the hysteria people have for Internet Historian. The whole ‘plagiarism’ means nothing to me. Unless he wrote the same thing the same way… I don’t care. Taking someone else’s work as a source and doing something new with it is fine as far as I’m concerned. I really do not get the issue.
Well, the thing is he did write it the same way. The video that prior to it being copyright claimed was word for word beat for beat the same as the original article. He then clearly tries to hide the fact that he stole someone's work. That being said though I'm not all anti IH now. As far as I know this is the only time he's done this before and I have faith he won't do it again.
My perspective has always been: -He has a team working on these videos -Publicly saying a work is plagarized after the plagarism was fixed would be unnecessary drama -We have no idea to what extent IH actually knew of the plagarism before the claim occured And as such, blowing up the matter to attack him over it always felt like overkill. There was no pattern of awareness towards plagarism
I don't particularly care for the opinion of someone whose only noteworthy work prior was a laughably bad defense of Dark Souls 2 that has been thoroughly shredded by the community since
HBomberGuy is so biased, my dude. I've seen him spread misinformation in videos before just because he didn't like someone. In one video, which was supposed to be a review of a Doctor Who episode, he just spends the whole review attacking the writer's character and spreading misinformation about him. The worst part of it is that video is still up and I don't think he's apologised for it either, which makes me feel like he thinks he did nothing wrong, which is why I don't trust anything he says.
@@Mare_Man I'm not a big fan of that video either but to claim it was his "only noteworthy work prior" when the Roblox Oof video was 2022 is just silly

Heavy horses are known as draft horses, of which Clydesdales are a particular breed of. All drafts are known for being exceptionally calm and gentle.

Hold on!... Why do I have the feeling I've read this same comment from a different reaction vid before? Are you that same person who made the comment?
21:27 Complete guess: the conspiracy led to less wine drinking which in turn led to less degenerates fueled by liquid courage.

Probably the solder used in the copper cook pots as well. It was lead based as well.

Now that I’m thinking about it, did you ever watch the previous video on wine?
I swore I did, but it looks like I haven't. That's odd.
I'll be sure to get to that soon.
Yay, I’m helping :)
Kip not knowing the Koch brothers is literally insane
I didn't know who they were either.
Finally!! more IH!!! 🤩
I love how hard and genuinely you laugh at his videos
His videos are gold.

About the watermelon and wine in Argentina, we call it sangria, wich means "bleeding", and I've never heard about anyone thinkinh it's poisonous

There are brands and brands of catholicism, I believe. In Spanish catholicism it's symbolic not the actual flesh and blood.
I just assumed the changing audio in the ad was intentional as part of the joke

Im very surprised that you have never heard of the Koch brothers... they are very... hated
Ever since the HBomberGuy scandal, I now have to wonder how much of this is IH actually researching and how much is scraping from someone else.

I thought you’d consider this person a brand risk?
