We answer who invented wine.
Yes a lot of you have asked us, who invented wine. Well we gave it our best shot.
Who invented wine is a question that no one can truthfully answer. My guess is that it was first made accidentally by storing grape juice in clay containers where the juice was allowed to ferment and thus make wine. I do know that references to grapes appear in both Greek and Roman mythology although who was first to mention it is questionable. In mythology wine is associated with the Greek god Dionysus and the Roman god Bacchus. This does not mean that some mythological god created wine, it means that wine was obviously present in Greek and Roman culture to have a god represent wine. References to wine before the Greeks or the Romans are kinda sketchy, but please be aware that the wine you drink today is vastly different in taste from the wine made back then. That much I am sure of and the advances that we have made in wine production allow a much wider group of people to enjoy wine.
If you want to concentrate on the creation of wine, go visit a winery and I don’t mean just in California, go visit a local winery (you would be surprised how many there are) and ask the wine maker about wine. I have no doubt they would love to talk about it and let you sample their offerings, this way you can affirmatively say you know the person who created that particular wine.
