National Drink Wine Day

Some historians report that people have been drinking wine since 6000 BC, when agriculture cropped up in the region that became the country of Georgia in the early 11th Century. Today’s Georgia borders Armenia and Turkey to the South and Russia to the North

The oldest known winery was found in a cave in Armenia, and is over 4,000 years old — The vinters there were using a grape still used to make wine today! Barrels of wine have been found in the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs, and the Ancient Greeks used wine in secret religious ceremonies.
