Twelve bottles of Bordeaux wine and dozens of vine shoots are back at home in southwest France after spending months on the International Space Station (ISS) for an unusual astrochemistry experiment.
The red wine and 320 mature shoots known as canes arrived on February 1 after their return to Earth via a Dragon capsule operated by SpaceX, the private launching company created by Elon Musk.
