For those of you following the Phoenicia expedition (replicating the first circumnavigation of Africa by the Phoenicians in 600 BC) that we wrote of before, http://www.delheim.com/blog/2010/03/15/ancient-wine-varietal-for-ancient-ship-expedition/ , she has just now crossed the equator.  In time-honoured tradition, all those on board who have never crossed the equator before get “initiated” by “King Neptune” and his cohorts.

At precisely 16h00 GMT yesterday, those on board, and we here at Delheim, simultaneously toasted this achievement with a bottle of Delheim’s Grand Reserve.

Godspeed to the Phoenicia and her crew, as it carries the special box of Delheim Muscadel to Syria along the ancient trading routes followed by the Phoenicians 2 500 years ago.

For further information on this amazing expedition, as well as a great photo gallery of the crew’s visit to Delheim, go to www.phoenicia.org.uk
