Thanks for the perspective. Wine does teach our senses more than anything! Learning is so fun!
How can wine have started 8000 years ago when the Earth is only 6000 years old?
Great video!! Love the information!
Fun facts! Enjoyable presentation!
Thanks Teach! Drinking from the firehose on this one. Great graphics. 🍷
Very informative and useful video. Thank you ❤
Awesome video 👏🏽
Very educational, thank you! Do you recommend any aroma kits to help train our noses?
Great video. I completely agree. When we delve into wine we discover a huge amount of history and human emotion. 99% of my friends just drink wine and I do my best to make it more interesting for them, mostly to no avail. They are missing out. Folk like us are the lucky ones. WT
Excellent video!!! Thank you so much!
Always nice to review the basics!
Wine is meant for enjoyment, definitely not for health benefits. As someone who works in healthcare, I often see studies on wine that are poorly designed, lack third-party sponsorship or are misrepresented by the media.
While it's true that red wine contains substances linked to potential health benefits, many of these findings come from animal studies and the actual concentrations in a bottle are so low that their impact is negligible. You'd have to consume an unrealistic amount to see any real impact and that would lead to alcohol poisoning long before any benefits kicked in.
I recently ordered a half case of a wine from the area of Georgia (the country) where wine purportedly was first made, called Lost Eden Saperavi Red Blend. This particular wine is grown and bottled in the Kakhetian region of Georgia, and claims an 8000 year history of winemaking. I am glad I tried it although while “interesting”, once was enough and I won’t necessarily seek out this particular wine again! Sweet yet dry with very distinct fruit flavors that are unfamiliar at least to me and certainly distinct from any other red wines I’ve ever tasted.
Is decanting or straining aged red to remove sediment a mistake? Is sediment where the largest concentration of beneficial micronutrients are? I personally love high tannin wines. Recently discocered riberio del duero. Italian is my main focus.
Wine. Cool story, bro!
Actually, it really is a pretty cool story…
Thanks!
Wow I enjoyed this video! Thank you!
Oldest evidence of wine-making is found in Territory of republic of Georgia, near Tbilisi ( in Shulaveri )
Piece of clay pot( Qvevri ) and there was layer of wine and pips ,
Check the facts.
Armenia only has 6000 year evidence ,
Georgia has 8000.
So should be objective when you name the place of the Origin of wine.
Think I was sort of right – I thought Mesopotamia – when you talked about the origin of wine 🙂
Interesting and educational as usual, thank you! Do you have a link to the “next video”? Nothing showed on my screen.
madeline i would LOVE a book recommendation video from you guys for the truly nerdy stuff. whenever you talk about wine's history or grape genetics i just want to know more and more and more.
The wine behind
