Discovering the World of Wine at Gortman's

A Brief History of Wine Production

Wine production has a rich history that spans thousands of years, with evidence of winemaking dating back to ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt. The art of winemaking continued to evolve over the centuries, with different cultures and regions developing their own unique techniques and traditions.

From the ancient Greeks to the Romans, wine played a significant role in many societies, serving as a symbol of hospitality, luxury, and celebration. The art of winemaking was also closely tied to the development of agriculture, with early farmers cultivating grapes for both food and drink.

The Evolution of Wine Tasting

As wine production continued to grow and evolve, so too did the art of wine tasting. In ancient times, wine was often consumed without much thought or consideration for its quality or characteristics.

However, as trade and cultural exchange increased, so did the need for a more nuanced understanding of wine. This led to the development of formalized wine tasting practices, with experts using descriptive language to capture the complex flavors and aromas found in different wines.
