Ancient people could discover how to make wine after watching animals eat fermented fruit.

Archaeologists have not found clear evidence of how people discover alcohol. They hypothesized that the ancient Stone Age people observed some animals eating fermented fruits should imitate by putting wild grapes in animal skin bags, making them ferment and become drinking water, according to How Stuff Works.

Vine appeared on Earth about 60 million years ago. In human history, wine production is a skill that does not need to be recorded. The formula is passed from generation to generation through apprenticeship and word of mouth. The first text refers to the Old Testament wine depicting Noah surviving the flood, leaving the ship and growing wine to make wine.

When archaeologists discovered rice and honey wine left over on a piece of pottery in China dating back to 9,000 years, they had evidence of ancient fermentation . In the Middle East, researchers found traces of grapes in a 7,400-year-old ceramic vase accompanied by sap, which acts as a preservative for wine.

The oldest intact wine bottle in the world was discovered in 1867 after scientists unearthed a Roman stone tomb under a vineyard near the city of Speyer, Germany. This bottle of wine is located in the Pfalz Historical Museum, Germany. Although curious, so far, no scientist has dared to open this tightly-closed neck of wine.
