Uncorked: Drinking Across the Silk Route

What happens when you blend wild grapes, hawthorn berries, and honey? Voila! One of the earliest concoctions of liquor, found in Asia, is invented!

However, the fabled Silk Route also plays an important role in the story of wine through trade in pottery and plants or through cultural interaction.

Discover more about getting tipsy in Asia in a journey along the Silk Route, a route that changed civilizations in the west and the east.
