The largest number of grape varieties in the world, ancient grape pollen dusting hillsides, storage jars containing wine residue dating to 6000 BCE...all point to a surprising location for the earliest evidence of wine production. Discoveries show that though prehistoric humans were reliant on stone and bone tools, they had an incredible craving for a beverage that made the world a happier place!

Think you can guess the location?
