How ancient migrations and chemistry are rewriting the history of wine
In short: Discover how new archaeological evidence and genetic research are tracing the origins of viticulture much further back than previously thought, potentially to the Neolithic era.
In this presentation, Stephen Batiuk of the University of Toronto examines how the intersection of biomolecular chemistry, genetics, and new fieldwork is reshaping our understanding of early wine production. The video explores the possibility that wine culture spread throughout the Mediterranean and Near East via ancient migratory patterns, beginning as far back as the Neolithic period.
