ABOUT WINE

Wine originated from the Middle East in ancient times

Wine originated from the Middle East in ancient times, with evidence suggesting that wine production began  in  the regions now known  as  Georgia, Iran (ancient Persia), and Armenia between about 6000 to 4000 BC. This area holds the oldest evidence of grape wine production in the world.

Wine  culture  spread  to  ancient  Egypt and ancient Greece,  then  to the Roman Empire and  other  parts of Europe, driven by  cultural  influence  and  trade.  Wine became  an  integral part of society and religious rituals  in  many cultures around the globe. Over history, wine has evolved and improved in terms of grape varieties, production  processes,  and  fermentation  techniques,  leading  to  a  diverse and complex range of wines.

Wine became popular in human societies since ancient times, particularly in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, with evidence of wine production dating back to approximately  6000  to  4000 BC in areas now known as Armenia, Georgia, and Iran (ancient Persia).

In  ancient  Egypt,  wine was a significant and valuable beverage, offered to gods and used in various rituals. Wine was also a part of the culture in ancient Greece and Rome, revered as the drink of philosophers, politicians, and warriors.

During  the  Middle  Ages,  wine continued to be an essential part of daily life in Europe,  especially  in  Christian  religious  ceremonies.  The  development of vineyards  in  different  parts  of  Europe  increased  the diversity of wine and its popularity.

The discovery of new trade routes during the Age of Exploration allowed wine to spread to other parts of the world. In modern times, wine has become a globally popular beverage, with a wide variety of styles developed and offered to cater to the tastes and consumption patterns of people worldwide.
