WELCOME TO HOMELAND OF WINE

DO YOU KNOW

WHAT IS THE

HOMELAND OF

WINE?

A R M E N I A

Since ancient days Armenia was famous for the wine makers where original traditions were kept until this day. It is possible to learn about this even from works of such philosophers, as Herodot and Strabon. In 401-

400 B.C., when the Greek armies led by Ksenophon "were passed" on the country Nairi (one of the most ancient names of Armenia), in the Armenian houses

they were treated with wine and beer which was kept in deep dugouts in special "karases".

In 2011 archaeologists in Armenia announced the discovery of the world's oldest-known wine production facility. Located in the Areni cave complex, it consisted of a shallow basin

to press grapes, a vat for storage, and fermentation jars. They also found grape seeds, remains of pressed grapes, and dozens of dried vines. The seeds were from Vitis vinifera a grape still used to make wine. The cave remains date to about 6000 BC - 900 years before

the earliest comparable wine remains, found in Egyptian tombs.
