[11:58.34]Wine
[11:59.26]It is hard to say how long people have been drinking wine.
[12:04.50]Wine is far older than recorded history.
[12:09.20]Some experts say it is even as old as civilization itself.
[12:15.36]The first wine ever made was probably an accident.
[12:21.16]People in ancient times might have picked ripe grapes.
[12:26.43]Some juicy grapes at the bottom of the container were crushed together.
[12:32.17]As the grapes broke open,
[12:34.69]yeasts on the skins went to work turning sugar from the fruit into alcohol.
[12:40.58]This is the fermentation process that turns grape juice into wine.
[12:46.43]Wine was not just about having an enjoyable drink.
[12:51.91]It could be stored for future use.
[12:55.02]And, it was nutritious and often much safer to drink than water during early times.
[13:02.15]Some experts say that up until the 1600s in Europe,
[13:08.14]wine was one of the only prepared drinks.
[13:11.41]After that, wine had competition from beer, coffee and tea.
