After the Flood, Noah Grew Grapes
McGovern's reflects his hypothesis that grape domestication, and its attendant wine culture, began in a specific region and spread across the

ancient world. He calls it the Noah Hypothesis, as it suggests a single locality for an ancestor grape. In the Bible, Noah landed on the slopes of Mount Ararat (in what is now Eastern Turkey) after the Flood. He is described as immediately planting grapevines and making wine. Everyone has a right to trust this theses or not to, but to learn more, we would like to invite you to explore the ancient land of Armenia and to witness its generous hospitality, exclusive cuisine and fantastic wines that are not yet known in large. Indeed, a journey to Armenia is a discovery of the very base of wine-making.

“The Kataro winery has recently resumed its work in Yerevan. A reminder that the Kataro wine production plant, located in the village of Togh in the Hadrut district of Artsakh, came under enemy control during the second Artsakh War.”

DID YOU KNOW WHY THE WINE BOTTLES ARE 750 ml ...?
Wine bottles are generally 750 ml (75 cl) and not one liter (1,000 ml).
Where does this specification come from?
The capacity of a bottle of wine was normalized in the 19th century and the craziest explanations of this fact emerged, corresponding to:
- The lung capacity of a glazier;
- Average consumption in a meal;
- The best ability to preserve wine;
- Ease of transport ...
- Nothing of this.
In reality it is simply a practical organization with a historical base:
At that time the main customers of French wine producers were the English.
But they never adopted the same system of measures as the French.
The English unit of volume was the "imperial gallon" which was equivalent to 4.54609 liters.
To simplify the conversion accounts, they transported Bordeaux wine in 225-liter barrels, that is, exactly 50 gallons, corresponding to 300 750-ml bottles. (75 centiliters).
Being easier the calculation, they adopted that a barrel = 50 gallons = 300 bottles.
In this way, one gallon corresponded to 6 bottles.
In fact, that's why even today wine boxes usually have 6 or 12 bottles ”.
Wine is culture too!

In 2007, in a cave near Mt Ararat, traces of grape juice, seeds and stems were found in a large vat that held clay jars (karas). Analysis revealed the malvidin compound that gives red wine its colour. This is the earliest known winery in the world. The grape strain there – named ‘areni’ after the region in which it was found – is a native variety with no known ancestors: it’s grape zero for the area.

He saved all the animals (minus the dinosaurs) and still had time to make wine. Now Armenia’s latest winemakers are stating their case.
