Wine is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages, as traces of its production and consumption date back to 7000 BC. It was first made for medicinal and religious purposes, but humans were always prone to abuse, turning this drink into a deadly poison.
Prohibition proved to not work in most cases, but that’s another story.
I’m here to focus on the bright side: a natural phenomenon such as fermentation, that unites folks from all eras and countries.
The quiz that will follow is about the grape wine, perhaps the most known and consumed type of wine.
I can’t say it’s easy, but it doesn’t matter: what you don’t earn in score, you’ll earn in knowledge.
