Raven replied with:
I don't kknow (sic), but I wouldn't think they knew of carbonation and how
would they do it

To which I add:
To "carbonate" or make a beverage bubbly does not require any sophisticated machinery, although it can be done that way.  Sufficient  yeast and sugar can make a "sparkling" wine or mead.  In fact, during the later stages of brewing beer, sugar is re-introduced into the beer so that the yeast "reactivates" and generates bubbles.
