Wines are the most preferred beverage by many people for thousands of years now; it is also associated with religion as it was mentioned in the bible. Also, it was mentioned in the article about western society that built the foundation of wines.

Moreover, on the same website in its second article entitled The Best Invention since the Wheel, it was believed that the discovery of wine production is actually accidental. The fable that is very persuasive that talks about a specific princess who wanted to end her life because of too much pressure. She ate too much spoiled grapes which she thought will cause her to die. However, she woke up the next morning and felt like new again which she thought was because of the grape consumption.
