Food in ancient Egypt was centered heavily around bread, both for impoverished and wealthy people. They typically ate unleavened bread, a type of bread devoid of yeast. Bread made up the bulk of the diet for poor ancient Egyptians. They also drank a lot of beer.
However, wine the Egyptians drank was a distant relative to the wine we know today. The Egyptians used white, pink, green, red, and dark blue grapes, as well as figs, palm, dates and pomegranates. So as you can imagine, the taste would have been completely different to what we would expect when being served wine today.
