Lesson details
We’ve been making wine for thousands of years, with the earliest records of this widely loved drink appearing as early as 7000BC.
While the process of making wine may not seem all that complicated, there are many factors winemakers must consider to create a fine drop – everything from the weather to the laws to the costs involved. It’s definitely not as simple as just crushing grapes!
