Welcome in the New Year by exploring the origins of wine. Registration is still open for the next Wines of the World event on Sunday, January 11, 2026 featuring wines from Georgia and Romania. The earliest known traces of wine were found near Tbilisi, Georgia (c. 6000 BCE). The subsequent spread of wine culture around the Mediterranean was due to the influence of the Phoenicians (from c. 1000 BCE) and Greeks (from c. 600 BCE). The January WOW event will explore the history of grapes and wine as it spread from the Caucuses to the ancient world and on to Europe and the new worlds.”
Thanks, Saj
