Booze update Wine Production was Well-Developed during Sassanid Era
Archeological excavations in Bolaghi Gorge revealed that this area was one of the main centers for producing wine during the Sassanid era.

Recent geophysical and archeological studies in Bolaghi Gorge led to discovery of the biggest wine production workshops belonging to the Sassanid era (226–650 AD). This is the first time archeologists have succeeded in discovering such a big wine production workshop.

Prior to this, the remains of a wine production workshop belonging to the Sassanid era had been discovered during the archeological excavations by the joint Iranian-Polish team in Bolaghi Gorge under the supervision of Ali Asadi and Barbara Kaim.


Do we know when, say, whiskey, was first produced?
