Basic information
Ancient Persia is one of the cradles of ancient civilization. Most historians believe that Persia may be the first country to brew wine in the world. With the wars and commercial activities in ancient times, wine-making methods spread all over Israel, Syria, Asia and other sub-Arab countries.
Because Arab countries believe in Islam and Islam advocates prohibition of alcohol, the brewing industry in Arab countries is declining and almost banned. Later, the method of making wine spread from Persia and Egypt to Greece, Rome and Gaul (that is, France). Then, the brewing technology and consumption habits of wine spread from Greece, Italy and France to European countries.
