How on earth did the wine not evaporate out of the vessel over such a long period of time?

The vessel was made of glass and airtight. It was also in a lead case in a sealed tomb underground.

    But what made it airtight? Even a small leak could eventually cause the liquid to degas over the period of 2000 years?
