It is said that a vine and a Georgian man were born together.
This may have happened much earlier, but we know for sure that 8000 years ago, still in the Neolithic era, a peasant from Kvemo Kartli made wine and tasted it with great interest. At the very first sip, his soul was filled with pleasant euphoria, he felt bliss and butterflies fluttering all over his body, and as a fact, for ages, Georgians have not gotten rid of this pleasing and untouchable feeling, which one experiences while tasting wine.
How could our peasant, residing in the Shulaveri area, imagine that millennia later, finding his grape seeds and agricultural implements would become the most important artifact for the entire world?
According to wine researchers, the discovery of wine was a genius accident that began with the unintentional crushing of wild grapes at the bottom of a vessel and continued with its partial processing through air-transported yeast.
The whole process of fermentation remained an unsolved puzzle for mankind for centuries, which brought wine a reputation as a mysterious and ethereal drink.
