The world’s oldest known wine was discovered in 2003. Its vintage? 6000 BC. The containers these first wine makers used were more like the box wine of today, each holding approximately 5 liters. This bottle was found in Shulaveri, Georgia, in Eastern Europe. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting Batumi or Tbilisi, as this writer has, Georgia is a wine lover’s nirvana! Even the walls of the Czarist Russian architecture are covered in grape vines, rather than ivy. Every cobble stone street in Batumi seems to have its own wine shop and vintage. It really is darling!
Wine has been a part of human history since we began living in agricultural communities approximately 8-10,000 years ago. It became an art form during the Grecian times and was later perfected by the Romans and French. Turning water into wine was Jesus Christ's first miracle, something done to please His mother at a wedding (ahhh!).
Wine is a daily part of many cultures and shunned by others for religious reasons. It is considered a civilized drink, something to be shared with family and friends.
National Wine Day is an unofficial event without an official sponsor. However, many wineries and restaurants throughout the country have specials on this day.
