Huh? Amphora were used to hold, haul, and store everything including
wines and were ceramic jars/jugs. Used well into period and certainly
way way way pre-period.
Whole shipwrecks laden with Amphora that had been filled with wine have
been found.
Go to the Aphoras project at
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/amphoras/cgi-bin/well? and enter wine
as a search term and you'll get plenty of documentation references.
