- Evidence of the earliest European wine production has been uncovered at Macedonia, dated to 6,500 years ago.
- Wine was common in classical Greece and Rome.
- Wine making technology, such as the wine press, cultivation techniques, barrels improved considerably during the time of the Roman Empire.
- Each region in the world has its own unique Wine history.
- For example, there is an old Persian story about a princess who had lost favor with the King, and attempted to poison herself by eating some table grapes that had “spoiled” in a jar. She became intoxicated and giddy and fell asleep. When she awoke, she found the stresses that had made her life intolerable had dispersed. Returning to the source of her relief, her subsequent conduct changed so remarkably that she regained the King’s favor. He shared his daughter’s discovery with his court and decreed an increase in the production of “spoiled” grapes. These so called “spoiled grapes” are nothing but the wines.
