Production of the Turkish Wine

History of Turkish Wine

Today, it is known that wine production started in Eastern Anatolia. The history of viticulture in this region dates back about 6000 years. The first historical record of wine production in the region is recorded as Nippur tablets, among the oldest written documents in the world, dated to 3800 BC. According to Hugh Johnson, a prominent wine writer it is natural to claim that Türkiye is the homeland of wine if the vineyards planted in Noah’s Ararat Mountains are considered to be the first vineyards

He also adds that there is evidence of wine consumption by upper socioeconomic class Hittites during the 4th century BC.
