  CHARLESTON, S.C. — An intact bottle of wine recovered four years ago from the wreck of a Civil War blockade runner that sank off the coast of Bermuda in 1864 is going to be uncorked and sipped on Friday during a food festival in Charleston, South Carolina.
  How the wine tastes and the story of its origin will be revealed at a Charleston Wine + Food event titled "From Deep Below: A Wine Event 150 Years in the Making."
  The wine is one of five sealed bottles recovered by marine archaeologists from the Mary-Celestia, an iron-hulled sidewheel steamship that sank under mysterious circumstances during the Civil War.
