At the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79, the site known as Villa B at Oplontis contained sufficient amphoras to ship over 30,000 liters of wine. Though the study of J. T. Peña and M. McCallum rightly recognized the site as a bottling facility, this note uses recent data to argue that its function went beyond that to include significant export and distribution of Vesuvian area wine, and possibly the import of foreign wine. The data has been accumulated by the ongoing study of the facility by the Oplontis Project, using geoprospection, excavation, and a census of amphoras at the site. The findings suggest that the immediate proximity to the coast, the design of and modifications made to the courtyard area and the sheer number of transport amphoras it contained enabled it to fulfill an important rôle as one of the primary wine distribution centers on the Bay of Naples.
