Romans almost always diluted their wine with water. The ratio could vary depending on the situation, but sometimes they would even use equal parts water and wine. This made the drink safer (unrefrigerated wine could be quite strong), more refreshing, and a better accompaniment to food. Romans saw diluting wine with water as a civilized practice.
