In where I live, there's a sweet wine made from a grape from greece, which recipe and genetics has been conserved for a few hundred years because one rich guy stated so in his will, so he gave away a building (was an hospital, now a museum), and in exchange, their heirs must recieve 2 boxes of 6 bottles of such wine each year, or otherwise the building lease is off.

Something like that might work



Super interesting, encoding information inside of a lease contract. It's almost blockchain-esque!


What’s the name of the wine, and how can you get some? I’m very curious!


Ha, I didn't expect this to be one of my top rated comments.

It is very good wine indeed. It's called Malvasia.

There's a dry and sweet version, I prefer the sweet one. https://cellerdelhospital.cat/producte/malvasia-dolca/

They do ship internationally it seems, this one is the one from the story =)

The origin city of the grape variety, which came by ship to my city at the time, was monemvasia https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monemvas%C3%ADa


Thank you for sharing this information. My order is in.
