The wines are only made from grapes grown inside the ancient city which was destroyed when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD.

Bottles will be sent to embassies worldwide and the millions of visitors a year can sample it.

It is not known, however, if the wine will go on sale.

Pompeii Tourist Board said: “Wine was important to the ancient Vesuvians.’
