Wine has been with us for eight thousand years — from clay qvevri buried in Georgia to the oak barriques of Bordeaux. Every bottle carries that long memory: the same fermented grape juice, endlessly reinterpreted by place and time.
The great turning points are worth knowing. Roman merchants spread the vine across Europe, medieval monks mapped the first great vineyards, and a blind tasting in Paris in 1976 put California on the world map overnight.
