Iron Maiden Launches Vintage Wine That Gets Better With Age, Then Slightly Worse, Then Terrible, Then Better and Better Again
Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden launched a limited edition vintage wine, “The Number of the Yeast,” which boasts widely different flavor profiles depending on its age.

Maiden’s collaborator, French winemaker Remy Beautreillis, is ecstatic about his latest creation.
“I would describe it as a full-bodied chardonnay with lots of character. It tastes great straight away, but as it matures, it gets deeper and richer… until about the eight or ninth year, when it dips noticeably. After that, it really takes a nosedive in the flavor department,” said Beautreillis. “About years 15 to 18, I’d rather drink my own piss, to be honest. Then, surprisingly, it starts getting better and better again. It’s a great investment.”
