The History of Wine — The Drink That Built and Poisoned Empires
What if everything you thought you knew about wine was wrong?
This documentary explores the complete 8,000-year history of wine, from the world’s first winemakers in ancient Georgia to the shocking Judgment of Paris in 1976 that changed the wine industry forever.
Discover how wine became the drink of kings, emperors, monks, and civilizations. Learn how the Romans unknowingly poisoned themselves with “Sugar of Lead,” why Dom Pérignon never actually invented Champagne, how a tiny insect nearly destroyed every vineyard in Europe, and how American wines shocked the world by defeating France in one of history’s most famous blind tastings.
This is not just the story of a drink. It’s the hidden history of empires, religion, science, myths, trade, war, and human civilization.
