My first thought was: what does it taste like? But:

> The vessel contained five liters of wine mixed with the cremains of the deceased and a gold ring at the bottom.

Interesting that someone wished to spend the afterlife in wine.

Then again, plenty of people pickle themselves while alive

Who says they wished it?

As it's the first time I read about mixing wine with cremated remains I thought it was not a widespread funerary practice. So it looked to me like a request the person may have made before dying. But yeah, just a guess.
