Cradle of Wine

A grape seed floats in an earthenware bowl filled with wine. “This here is the very beginning of civilization,” the narrator explains. “Wouldn’t you say so?”

Where are the origins of this civilization? How important is this splendid tradition, embraced for tens of centuries by mankind? We travel around Caucasia and millennia back in time to experience viniculture and rituals of wine — the divine drink consumed by at least one billion people every day
