Wine is considered to be the national drink of Armenia. Since ancient times, Armenians cultivated grapes. According to the old legend Noah was the first man who planted the grapevine in the Ararat valley. Also Greek historians Herodotus and Strabo’s mentioned about Armenian wine in their recordings.
Some sources claim that Armenians imported wine to ancient Babylon. Later, the excavations showed that in 6-5th BC Armenians started to cultivate wild grape. So it’s not a surprising fact that Armenia is one of the leading wine-producing countries in the territory.
