A fact from Calabrian wine appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 January 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,811 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the ancient Olympic athlete Milo of Croton reportedly drank 10 liters of the Calabrian wine Cirò every day, and that the same wine is still being produced today?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/January.

Wikipedia

Olympics claim

I have no problem with this being included but it needs to be attached to a reliable source so that it can verified. Currently everything in the article can be attributed to a reliable source. That is a great way for an article to start out. Additions are always welcome but there is no reason to start downgrading the quality of the article by adding unsourced material. If the Italian wiki has a reliable source for the claim, by all means use it and attribute it to that reliable source. I have Sotheby in front of me but it makes no reference to the Olympic claim. For all we know, Stevenson could think it is overrated because of the Milo legend. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 23:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would think so. Thank you for finding that. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 23:54, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
