Nobody knows from which
particular part of the world the grape-bearing vine originally
came, but man has been drinking wine with his food for at least
5,000 years and the antiquity of the custom goes back far beyond
the days of ancient Greece to Egypt and the early civilizations of
the East. The sacrificial wine which was offered as a tribute to
pagan gods became the sacramental wine of the early Christian
church. When we contemplate the wine in our glass we are looking at
the oldest known agricultural product in the world which remains,
despite the miracles of automated vinification and computer
techniques, a comparatively simple commodity.

Jacquelin & Rene Poulain)
