Humans have extensively shaped animals and plants through domestication. Although wine and table grapes have been important culturally for thousands of years, their origin has been difficult to pinpoint because of uneven sampling of modern cultivars. In new research, geneticists from Yunnan Agricultural University and elsewhere analyzed genetic data from 3,525 cultivated and wild grape varieties from around the world.

I already knew this.

I heard it through the grapevine.

That map looks like it’s pretty close to Kazakhstan, where apples are thought to have originated.

According to the Bible Noah was 600 years old before the flood. After the flood he planted a vineyard, drank the wine and got drunk. So he had never drunk wine before the flood and didn’t know what would happen if he drank too much?

No death, no corruption, and no decay in The Garden. Therefore no yeast. Therefore no risen bread or alcohol...

There was a long interval between when Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden and when Noah came on the scene.

"So he had never drunk wine before the flood and didn’t know what would happen if he drank too much?"

The Bible doesn't say. My guess is that Noah knew exactly what he was doing.

Drinking wine in moderation is not a sin. Jesus was accused of being a winebibber Matthew 11:18-19. And Paul recommended wine for digestion.

I understand that wine today probably has a higher alcohol content. But wine in Jesus' day was considered a safe drink relative to water because of the alcohol.
