"a residue-covered Iranian wine jug dating to the sixth millennium B.C."
5500 BC? Isn't that 7500 years ago?
But how long ago were Adam and Eve?
Amazing that that jug survived the Flood.

since the Phoenicians and the Greeks largely controlled Egyptian trade during much of the Pharaonic period Do not accept that statement.

How much did it take to make a cavewoman a "10".
To: blam
Hard to believe the intelligent Greeks went from wine made from grapes to wine made from pine sap (Retsina).
There must have been a dumbing down due to climate change (global freezing)for that to happen.

Greek Dark Ages"The Dark Ages lasted from 1100 BC until 800 BC, or relatively to the time of Hellenic or Classical Greece. During this time the culture of Greece dwindled. Little is known of how many cultural elements were lost during the Dark Ages, but characteristic of the Dark Age, is the gradual decimation of any urbanized culture on the Greek mainland."
There was a worldwide tree-ring event at 1159BC. Maybe a serious volcano or an asteroid impact?

Take that back.
Retsina is no worse than the abomination known as mead, or berry-fermented/flavored wines.
On the other hand, resin flavor is an acquired taste. You need to start drinking it at 13, while eating octopus, sardines on the grill, cheeses, and fresh, bitter arugula. By the time you are 18, you just love it.
Sort of tastes like gasoline, only less complex.

On the contrary, Scotch is an acquired taste. Only real men would flavor a favorite beverage with peat.
Retsina on the other hand is for people who'll eat the bark off of trees because their pitiful landscape is so bereft of goodness.

I recently discovered some ancient mashed grapes myself, at a local restaurant.
The proprietors called it "Chardonnay." I called it swill.

Pity the poor muslim tribesmen who, lacking the access and religious permission to swill any alcoholic beverages, are reduced to licking the sweat from a camel's rump in order to achieve intoxication of the level which will turn their ape-like female tent wenches into an arabic equal of the Western man's "10".
