Sip on this—our prehistoric ancestors planted the first wine grapes 11,000 years ago. Thank them with a glass of your favorite vino. 🍷
, a global cohort of researchers trace the domestication of grapevines all the way back to prehistory, eventually leading to the earliest-known winemaking 8,000 years ago.
“The grapevine was probably the first fruit crop domesticated by humans,” Wei Chen, a senior author of the paper and an evolutionary biologist, said in a media briefing. Using genomic analysis, the researchers found that domestication actually happened twice, on two different lineages of wild grapes: One example occurred in the Caucasus region, while the other happened in western Asia. The authors believe that the Caucasus grapevines developed into those chosen for their winemaking potential, while those in western Asia were used as a food source.
While there are several different species of grapevine, just one is used for creating the vino you find yourself drinking at home or in a restaurant:
