The History Of Wine In 5 Minutes
Wine wasn’t “invented.”
It was discovered… probably by accident. 🍇
In this 5-minute deep dive, we travel from the Stone Age to the first archaeological evidence of wine, through ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, into the empire-building vineyards of Rome, the monastery cellars of the Medieval world, and the global expansion that shaped the wine map we know today.
And yes — we cover the villain of the story: phylloxera.
The tiny pest that nearly wiped out Europe’s vineyards… and how the industry was saved.
From ritual drink to global obsession — this is the story of how wine conquered the world.
If you love wine history, production, grapes, and the drama behind what’s in your glass — you’re in the right place.
