Euronews: Forget France, as Armenia is Hub of Winemaking History

Forget France: Armenia is the hub of winemaking history. Leading international media network Euronews headlined as such its reflection, declaring the Armenian plateau the ancient homeland of winemakingNEWS.am reports.

Euronews tells about the 8,000-year-old traditions of Armenian viticulture and the 6,000-year-old winemaking culture, adding that one should not miss one of the oldest winemaking regions, Armenia, when thinking about wine. Euronews emphasizes the fact that the unique exhibits kept in the Wine History Museum recently opened in Armenia open the way for visitors to the past and modern solutions of Armenian winemaking, showing the deep connection of the region, religion, culture, and medicine with Armenian wine. "The museum is located only 30 km away from Yerevan, in Armenia Wine Winery, it is located in 8 meters deep basalt rocks. When you go through an underground tunnel, you feel like you are entering a huge wine cellar," says Euronews adding: "The historical-archeological-ethnographic samples in the museum show how the wine accompanied the Armenians from the cradle to the burial rites."

Taking advantage of the museum's trend to popularize the culture of ancient winemaking, Euronews points to the existence of a bibliography which proves that Armenia is truly the cradle of winemaking.
