Wines of Armenia

Wine has always been an integral part of Armenian culture and heritage, even before Christianity and into ancient times. Grapes and wine are embedded into the core of Armenia's national identity. Recent discoveries have shown us that the world's first production of wine began 6,100 years ago in the Areni Cave in Armenia.

With such a compelling history, deep traditions and a full heritage exist here in plenty. Yet, the world has limited knowledge about this richness. This book aims to close this knowledge gap and share the beauty and culture with the world. It is the the first and the most comprehensive guide about Armenian wineries and winemaking providing great detail about Armenian grapes, wine regions and wineries.

As Mr. Margosian states: "If we don't embrace the Armenian history of wine and winemaking, we can't fully comprehend and evaluate wines in general. There will always be a part missing, and this book aims to fill that gap."
