In the era of the Roman Empire, one could count almost a hundred varieties of this noble drink. Ancient worshipers worshiped and sang of real wine, and also made sacrifices to numerous wine gods.

Viticulture in the Kuban is a different story. In ancient times, the Krasnodar Territory was inhabited by Greeks, who became famous for good wine from Gorgippia. The Greeks were replaced by the Italians, who no less zealously appreciated this wonderful drink. Any modern celebration is hard to imagine without a bottle of wine.
