This week we are taking a deep dive into the origins, history and archaeology of wine. We’ll cover the surprising “birthplace” of wine with some of the oldest evidence of wine making we have so far. Then we look at ancient shipwrecks in the Mediterranean and how they contribute to our knowledge of wine trade routes in Rome and Greece. And then finally, the oldest known wine type that is still in production today!
