The Antiques Roadshow 'best bits' last night.
A man brought a 'what looked like' a vintage port bottle from the early 1800's
It was still sealed with a cork and full of liquid.
The expert asked if he could open it to see what state the liquid was in.
The owner agreed and told him he had found it hidden in brickwork at his house during renovations.
The expert poured some in a glass and had a taste - he said it was vile.
As an update, it was sent to a lab to define the contents.
They then told a story of how in those days, if you built or bought a house it was the practice to get the local witch to urinate in the bottle to ward off bad spirits etc.
It came back and it was 150 year old piss.
Perhaps that's where the saying 'tastes like witch piss' comes from.
