Wine List

“Good wine”, said Shakespeare, “is a good familiar creature if it be well used”. It has been used for at least 4,500 years. Egyptian records dating from 2500 BC refer to the use of grapes for wine making. The first wines seem to have originated in the Middle East. There are frequent references to wine in the Old Testament. Wine was also used by early Minoan, Greek, and Etruscan civilizations. Centuries later the role of wine for sacramental use in Christian churches helped maintain the industry after the fall of the Roman Empire.

The Romans had carried wine making into much of Western Europe, especially the Moselle and Rhine valley sections of France and Germany and the Danube River valley of Austria. Following the voyages of Columbus and other explorers, grape cultivation was transported from the Old World to Mexico, South America, South Africa, Australia, and California. Today wine is produced on all the inhabited continents.
