Origins of wine
If we go back to the origins of wine, the first indications about the vine come from Mesopotamia (6,000 – 5,000 B.C.), although it is in Egypt in 3,000 B.C. where wine making really begins to be valued. But it was in Greece and Rome that it became a divine drink with the Greek god Dionysus and the Roman god Bacchus. In the Old Testament the vine symbolizes fertility and human reproduction. In Judeo-Christian customs, wine is considered a creator of bonds. As you can see, this is a drink with as much history as love itself.
There are many quotes about wine, but probably the one that resonates the most for a day like today is that “
Wine sows poetry in hearts.
“ (Dante Alighieri)
