considering the strength of ancient yeast as a winemaker I will say that watering down that ancient wine is necessary. Imagine if all your wine was 8-55 g/L of sugar. That is worse than grape juice and some sodas. Sometimes, it feels like drinking wine-flavoured syrup—especially since they often made straw wine, aka concentrating the sugars. This also means that chthonic gods have a sweet tooth because they/we do not dilute wine for them. Hades must love the new era of sugar in the modern day
