Abstract
The traces of viniculture, and subsequently winemaking, becomes increasingly
difficult to follow back to prehistoric times. There are many people and cultures of
which wine is an integral part of even today in modern times. It has a long tradition
of being the centre of many different social events and of sacred rituals for many
religions. Following the available archaeological evidence, in this paper there will be
an attempt of tracing the route that wine took alongside the grapevine. With the use of
analysis techniques (GC-MS) and dating methods on the sediment residues found in
ancient vessels, from a team of scientists, it appears that the path its spread followed
was from the Holy Lands to Egypt, the coast of Lebanon, Anatolia and from there on
to Greece and later the rest of Europe. These are the lands which this paper will focus
on as well as the particular characteristics each of them brought to wine.
