About Wine

Wine is an alcoholic beverage obtained from grape fermentation.

Wine claims ancient origins. Six thousand years ago there was already the wine culture, in fact, the Sumerians used a vine leaf to represent human life, while the Assyrians represented scenes of banquets with amphorae and goblets filled with wine.

In Greek history, however, wine was considered as a gift of gods, grape harvest was considered a different activity from agricultural and daily work, in fact it was able to transform the human condition and to bring it in close contact with the Divine.. Also, during the reign of Egypt, according to the depictions found inside the lighthouse tombs, the peasants practiced viticulture, seizing the bunches of grapes and squeezing them into thick pots.

In the world of the Roman Empire, grapes were collected in a tub where, after, were pressed and fermented. The wine, at first, was consumed only during the banquets of the rich Roman men, but thanks to the development of wine-making practices, the wine began to be present in the “Tabernae”, simple and spartan taverns for the citizens.

During the Middle Ages wine consumption and production were decreased due to the devastation caused by barbarian invasions.

In the Seventeenth Century, in France, a Benedictine monk for the first time managed to produce a wine full of bubbles, which he called champagne.

From the 1960s in Italy, were introduced innovative wine-making techniques and the aging in barriques, producing wines that have obtained and continue to receive prestigious awards and prizes. Italy has a huge wine potential that has been evolving rapidly in recent years, thanks to the consumers that have understood how to drink a glass of wine represents a story closely linked to the Italian people and its deepest origins.

Beer was one of the most popular drinks during the Middle Ages: it was consumed daily by all social classes in the countries of northern and eastern Europe, but in southern Europe wine was the most popular beverage and it was believed that beer Was consumed mainly by the lower classes.

 

About Spirits
