Scientists still believe that 8-10,000 years ago humans were primitive, and evidence of wine production is amazing and out-of-place, just like planned cities and global sea travel...

"Scientists have discovered the world's oldest wine - a vintage produced by Stone Age people 8,000 years ago."

"Biochemical tests on the ancient pottery wine jars from Georgia are showing that at this early period humans were deliberately adding anti-bacterial preservatives to grape juice so that the resulting wine could be kept for longer periods after fermentation."

"Intriguingly, the area lies adjacent to the region associated with one of the world's first recorded drunks, the biblical figure Noah, whose first non-religious act after the flood was to plant a vineyard."
