"Georgia has produced the earliest evidence of wine selection and hence the emergence of the cultivated variety: Vitis vinifera sativa. Carbon-dating puts this change to domestication at about 5,000 BC." “The Vintner's Art", Hugh Johnson & Jam

es Halliday

es were first harvested to be made into wine some 7000 years ago.“
