The ancient Greeks were well aware of wine production in the region by at least the 7th century BC, according to Herodotus.
Later, in the 1st century BC, Strabo would speak of an Azerbaijani wine known as Albania. Arab historians and geographers - including Abu'l-Fida, Al-Masudi, Ibn Hawqal, and Al-Muqaddasi - described extensive viticulture around Ganja and Barda, even after the Islamic conquest of the region.
Since the fall of communism and the restoration of Azerbaijan's independence, ardent attempts have been made to revive and modernize the Azerbaijani wine industry. Today, vineyards can be found in the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains as well as in the Kur-Araz lowlands near the Kura River.
