TYes, you read that correctly as Waterford’s long history in the wine trade has been brought front and centre by the Medieval Museum which is located in an old wine merchant building and has the oldest wine vault in the country dating from the 15th century. it is a must-visit if you are interested in wine as it is beautifully intact.
Waterford was a major wine importer for most of the medieval period and imported more wine than the other Irish cities combined. There was even a “Wine War” with New Ross that lasted a few centuries and was only settled by the sacking of New Ross in 1518.
