Prestigious British newspaper The Guardian published an article in which Armenia is called the birthplace of wine, as it is in the territory of this country that the world’s earliest winery were found, The Guardian reports.

"It was here, in modern-day Armenia in 2011, that archaeologists discovered the world’s earliest winery, dating back to circa 3,000 to 3,500 BC. I may not have found an answer tasting the 2014 vintage (available in May) of Italian-Armenian Zorik Gharibian’s Karasi made from Armenia’s most planted grape variety (which, like the cave, takes its name from the village of Areni)," The Guardian quotes the book "A Natural History of Wine" by American academics Ian Tattersall and Rob Desalle.
