The history of early wine production in Anatolia
Turkey (in particular Eastern Anatolia) tends to compete with several of its neighbors in claiming the title of cradle of winemaking. 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.
