There are different records about the origin of wine in ancient books. It was born about 10,000 years ago, which is far from history. Wine is the product of natural fermentation. The earliest wine was produced when the peel of the grapes broke and the oozing juice came into contact with yeast in the air shortly after they landed. Our distant ancestors tasted this natural product, thus imitating the natural biological instinct of the wine-making process. Therefore, from the perspective of modern science, the origin of wine has undergone a transformation from natural wine to artificial wine.
According to historical records, a large number of grape seeds were found in Transcaucasia near the Black Sea in the Neolithic Age, that is, in Arato, Georgia and Armenia, 1 10,000 years ago, indicating that grapes were not only used for food at that time, but also mainly used for juicing and wine making.
Most historians believe that wine brewing originated in ancient Persia in 6000 BC, which is now Iran. The earliest grape cultivation began in the South Caucasus, Central Asia, Syria, Iraq and other parts of the former Soviet Union about 7,000 years ago. Later, with the spread of ancient wars and immigrants to other regions. First Egypt, then Greece. However, among the truly available materials, there are a large number of remains and relics found in ancient Egyptian tombs.
In the Nile valley, from the excavated tombs, archaeologists found a pottery jar with a small round bottom, a thick round belly and a big neck at the top, which was used by ancient Egyptians to hold wine or oil. In particular, the reliefs clearly depict the planting, grape harvesting, brewing steps and drinking of ancient Egyptians, which has a history of more than 5,000 years.
In addition, the words Ilp (Egyptian, meaning wine) are engraved on the hip flask produced in the ancient Egyptian kingdom. Western scholars believe that this is the beginning of human grape and wine industry. Hugh, a famous writer with wine as the theme? HughJohnson once described: "There were excellent wine tasting experts in ancient Egypt. They are like samples of sherry producers or Bordeaux wine brokers in the 20th century, and they can identify the quality of wine confidently and professionally. "
The tradition of growing grapes in Europe is even longer, and most grape cultivation and wine-making techniques were born in Europe. In addition, the fundamental difference between the old world and the new world is that the wine in the "new world" tends to be industrialized, while the wine in the "old world" tends to be brewed by hand. Hand-brewed wine is the crystallization of a craftsman's labor, while industrial products are the products of technological process and standardized products that have been copied in large quantities.
There are different opinions about the origin of wine. Some people say that it originated in ancient Egypt, or ancient Greece, or the Greek island of Seth. According to the research and analysis of existing wine archives, to be exact, it should be that our ancestors brewed wine 10,000 years ago, and it has spread with the wine culture to this day.
