Legend has it that there was a Persian king in ancient times. He liked grapes very much. He kept them tightly in a big pottery jar and marked them as "poisonous" to prevent people from stealing them. A few days later, one of the king's wives got tired of life and drank a drink made of grapes in a jar marked "toxic" without authorization. It tastes very good. Not only did he not end his life, but he was extremely excited. The concubine was full of confidence in life. She specially held a cup for the king, who liked it very much after drinking it. After that, the king ordered the ripe grapes to be collected, compacted in containers and fermented into wine.
With the wars and commercial activities in ancient times, wine-making methods spread all over Israel, Syria and Arab countries in Asia Minor. Because Arab countries believe in Islam and Islam advocates prohibition of alcohol, the brewing industry in Arab countries is declining and almost banned. Later, the method of making wine spread from Persia and Egypt to Greece, Rome and Gaul (that is, France). Then, the brewing technology and consumption habits of wine spread from Greece, Italy and France to European countries. Because Europeans believe in Christianity, Christians call bread and wine the flesh and blood of God, and wine is regarded as an indispensable drink in life, so wine has developed in European countries, so France, Italy and Spain have become the "lakes" of wine in the world today, and European countries are also the countries with the largest per capita wine consumption in the world today. The wine production of European countries accounts for more than 80% of the world's total wine production. In addition, there is another saying that wine originated in Greece, so I won't go into details here.
