  1. A safe prediction is "France" or "Italy" since those countries have used wine far longer than other countries.


  2. The origins of wine predate history. We know that primitive man ate grapes because their seeds have been found in caves along with stone tools. Since grapes will become wine, if just left to their own devices, it is almost certain that wine was 'discovered' not 'invented'. Lichine relates the following story: A Persian who was fond of grapes stored some away in a great jar marked 'poison'. Some time afterward, one of the neglected beauties of his harem, tired of life, drank from the jar and the ''poison was by then so delicious that, much revived, she took a cup to the king. The king tasted it, took the lady back into favor, and ordained that thereafter the grapes should be allowed to ferment

    The wines of the day were white and sweet, and the many mentions of wine in the Old Testament were the same. It appears that the Arabians made red wines.

    Wine was a luxury drink in ancient Egypt and bottles were labelled with the wine's name, year of harvest, source and even vine grower.
