Description

The book traces the history of vineyards and wine in our territory, from the introduction of the first vines by Greek colonists in the region of Marseille until the early 19th century. The very first drops of wine flowed in the southern Caucasus 8,000 years ago. It was the Greeks who, during the five centuries preceding the conquest of Gaul by Caesar, provided our ancestors with the precious nectar they loved but were not yet producing themselves. For triumphant Christianity, wine was initially seen as the blood of Christ. During the medieval period, it was mainly the monks who developed wine production for the needs of worship and to meet extremely high demand. After covering the periods of the Renaissance, the century of Louis XIV, and the Age of Enlightenment, the book concludes with the origin of the utensils necessary for a good wine tasting: the birth of glasses, carafes, and flasks, the revolution of the bottle, the origin of labels, corks, and corkscrews.
