Now it is possible to buy wine online or from any shop or supermarket,
but what is the history of this great beverage?
Fossil vines, 60-million-years-old, are the earliest scientific evidence of grapes. The earliest written account of viniculture is in the Old Testament of the Bible which tells us that Noah planted a vineyard and made wine. As cultivated fermentable crops, honey and grain are older than grapes, although neither mead nor beer has had anywhere near the social impact of wine over recorded time.

MIDDLE EASTERN ORIGINS
An ancient Persian fable credits a lady of the court with the discovery
of wine. This Princess, having lost favor with the King, attempted
to poison herself by eating some table grapes that had spoiled in a
jar. She became intoxicated and giddy and fell asleep. When she awoke,
she found the stresses that had made her life intolerable had dispersed.
Returning to the source of her relief, her subsequent conduct changed
so remarkably that she regained the King's favor. The King shared his
daughter's discovery with his court and... no doubt he would buy wine
