Everyone thinks wine comes from France or Italy. Scientists confirmed the world’s oldest winemaking evidence is 8,000 years old — and it’s from Georgia. Not the American state. The country in the Caucasus.
University of Pennsylvania scientists confirmed the world’s oldest winemaking evidence dates to 6,000 BC in Georgia — the country in the Caucasus mountains. From there grapes traveled to Egypt, Greece and Rome. When civilization collapsed the Catholic Church saved the grape. Every wine on Earth traces back to one wild grape in Georgia 8,000 years ago.
