No one really knows which was the first culture to drink fermented grape juice. But we do know that humans have been consuming wine for a very, very long time. Ancient Iranians, Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese, Romans – everyone was getting into it. It might surprise you to know that in Medieval Europe it was Christian monks that were the masters of producing and distributing the good drop (Dom Perignon was a Benedictine monk and anyone who’s had the pleasure of tasting his champagne will indeed salute him).

Good idea Jennifer! 🙂
