Chasing the Roots of Wine
Ancient Egyptian Enjoing Wine
Hundreds and thousands of years ago, Egyptians consumed wine. During those days, wine consumption was mainly for the high society people and the commoners used to drink beer. Few years back an ancient wine cellar was discovered in Armenia, which dated back to 3500 BC. This discovery helped us know that wine was popular since then and the tradition is still in continuation.
Old Chinese Wine Pottery
Another discovery showed that wine tradition was there before the Egyptians came into the picture. Recently, some fluid particles have been found in Chinese potteries, which are 9000 years old. Hence, as a matter of fact, China has been consuming wine, since 9000 years.
