Where does wine come from?

When it comes to the invention of wine, we might think of Italy and ancient Rome; Greece and the god of wine Dionysus; or France and its powerhouse wine regions like Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne; but the oldest known evidence of winemaking on the planet shows that wine traces its origins back much further to the east, in the caucuses mountains, in the country of Georgia (or Sakartvelo as it’s known to the locals 🇬🇪) over 8,000 years ago.
