In these countries archaeological finds which support their cause are usually heavily publicized. The oldest permanent winemaking facility found to date – from 4,100BC - is actually located in the Areni-1 cave Complex of Armenia. Evidence of viticulture and more ad hoc grape Fermentation dates much to at least 7,000BC in China, and 5,000BC or earlier in Anatolia.
