French wine is of Italian origin

Archaeological evidence shows that grapes and wine processing techniques of France originated from Etrusca, part of Italy today.

France has long been proud of being the cradle of wine production in the world. However, a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has provided evidence that the techniques of turning grapes into wine can originate in an area now in Italian territory.

Archaeologists have discovered two straps around many locations along the French coast. These 2,500-year-old mollusks serve as Etruscan wine vats. However, in France, it is unclear whether they are actually used to store wine.

The researchers looked at 13 intact excavated Etruscan-sized two-body jars in the coastal town of Lattara, a former export-import center. They also check a limestone pedestal that looks like a wine or olive squeezing tool.

Based on the results of the chemical analysis, the team concluded, these two straps are used to store wine. Limestone benches are also not used to crush grapes until decades after the two straps are imported into France.

Artifacts imply that the first French residents imported wine and then began developing their own wine-processing techniques, which could be based on grapes imported into the area, then Breeding accordingly.
