The origins of the wine are so as ancient to sink in the legend one of which it tells addiritura that Noè, having invented the Wine he/she thought well about saving the Grapevine from the universal downpour reserving her a sure place in its Ark.
And' history that in west the crop of the grapevine and the practice of the vinificazione were notes in Armenia (the Mesopotamia) where the first revolution of the humanity was performed, with the abandonment of the nomadism from some communities and the consequent birth of the agriculture.
The "fertile crescent" it was a neighboring geographical area to the course of the rivers Tigers and Euphrates, mother of the cereals and laboratory of the discovery of the trials fermented you from which you/they come down the bread, the cheese and the drinks euforizzanti, as we know her to us today. Some going up again Egyptian hieroglyphs to 2500 to.C. they already describe various types of wine. 
In ancient Egypt the practice of the vinificazione was so consolidated that in king Tutankamon's funeral outfit (1339 to.C.) were included some amphoras containing wine with brought the zone of origin, the year and the producer (of the DOCs shutters litteram!).
From Egypt the practice of the vinificazione spread near the Hebrews, the Arabs and the Greek. These devoted a divinity to the wine: Dionisio, God of the convivialità.
Contemporarily, in the heart of the Mediterranean one, the grapevine it began from Sicily his/her trip toward Europe, spreading before himself/herself/itself near the Sabinis and then near the Etruschis which divenirono skilled growers and vinificatori and they actually widened the cultivation of the grape from Campania to the lowland Padana. Near the ancient Romans the vinificazione assumed only notable importance after the conquest of Greece. The initial separation transformed him in great love to the point to insert Bacchus in the group of the gods and to make promoters of the diffusion of the wine-growing in all the provinces of the empire. From his/her song wine has contributed to the birth of the Roman empire: the Romans in fact they knew of the ownerships battericida of the wine and as custom they brought him/it in their countries as drink of the legionaries. Plutarco tells that Caesar distributed wine to his/her soldiers to defeat an illness that the army was decimating.
The birth of the Christianity and the consequent decline of the empire Romano, marks the beginning of a dark period for the wine, accused of bringing drunkenness and ephemeral pleasure.
To this the diffusion of the Islam was added in the Mediterranean between the eight hundred and the millequattrocento d.C. with the mass to the proclamation of the wine-growing in all the busy territories. For against they were really the monks of that period, together with the Jewish communities, to continue, almost in clandestine way the wine-growing and the practice of the vinificazione to produce the wines to use in the religious rites.
It will need to attend the Renaissance to find again a literature that returns his/her role of protagonist of the western culture to the wine however and that I/you/he/she return to settle its qualities.
In the seventeenth century it got sharper the art of the coopers, they became less expensive the bottles and they spread the cork corks all of this it contributed to the maintenance and the transport of the wine favoring the commerce of it.
The nineteenth century sees to consolidate the distinctive and extraordinary position that wine occupies in the western civilization. To the country tradition it begins to cooperate the contribution of illustrious researchers that you/they use him for the realization of wines usual good qualities and goodness. Wine becomes object of scientific search.
In the 1866 L. Pasteur in his/her writing Etudes sur the vins he/she affirms "wine is the healthiest and hygienic of all the drinks."
Recent studies physicians have shown that among those people that bring him in trip in the countries in which the alimentary infections are frequent the tourists that consume wine they are less subjects to attacks of dysentery in comparison to those people who consume water even if bottled. And this whether to put aside from the causes of the contamination, many bacterias in water survive and at times they proliferate while in the wine they die because of some concomitant characteristics what the acidity the presence of alcohol and tannins.
For more these same characteristics they make the wine a healthy drink for the man to condition that is assumed in moderate (a meal glass) quantity. You study physicians they show that a moderate consumption of wine has positive effects on the cardiovascular system reducing the risks of cardiac illnesses.
The reason is not entirely still clear but according to some this it is due to the presence of small quantities of substances with ownership ipocolesterinizzante that is originated from the contained tannins in the red wines.
They have been being passed around 150 years for the first studies of Pasteur and the time you/he/she has not denied him/it yet: to today an agent you/he/she has never been isolated patogeno for the man that is originated from the wine.
