Damn,  those Vikings are popping up  everywhere.

"A new study on residue  found in Scandinavian artifacts from  1500 B.C. to 
the first century  A.D. has revealed that the wide variety of  ingredients 
used to make  Nordic grog ranged from local fruits, grains, herbs and  
spices 
to  grape wine imported from southern or central Europe.   "
