What happens when someone forgets grape juice in a clay jar for a few days? You get the most romantic drink in history. From the mountains of Georgia 8,000 years ago to the tables of Pharaohs, through monks who saved civilization’s greatest drink, to the bubbles a terrified monk could not stop — this is the story of how wine became the drink of connection, celebration, and memory.

The first wine was an accident. A forgotten jar of grape juice changed everything 🌍 Eight thousand years later, we are still raising glasses, sharing stories, and finding connection. What will you toast to today? 🍷

Surprised me most, the pharaoh were buried with wine. I love to hear the stories. Thank you.
Part of the Roman wine expansion came through Switzerland, which still has a robust wine and vinyard culture that originated at that time. 🍇🍷🇨🇭 I've got a video with Swiss vinyards and my own huge, historic wine cellar if anyone is interested. Great video BTW!
What an ancient and beautiful legend！Thanks for the episode!
The best story ever made about the wine, vines and vineyards!
