Origins of Wine

Wine, primarily made from grapes, has a rich history that traces back over 9,000 years, with evidence of early fermentation found in ancient China. The first intentional winemaking using grapes emerged around 7,400 years ago in Iran, showcasing the evolution from accidental discovery to a dedicated craft. Notably, a winemaking facility dating back 6,000 years was uncovered in Armenia, highlighting the significance of grape cultivation in human history.
