Wine is a traditional part of the Greek lifestyle. It's not only a drink but also an important part of their culture that they share with the rest of the world.
The Greeks introduced wine to France and Rome in the 6th century BC, helping spread its popularity and making it available to everyone.
The first bottle of wine was discovered in France by a farmer in the year 5000 BC and later on, it spread to Greece where it became common. It then took over Italy and made its way back to France. Wine's popularity has been widespread ever since.
