Imported ancient Etruscan amphoras and a limestone press platform discovered at the ancient port site of Lattara in southern France have provided the earliest known biomolecular archaeological evidence of grape wine and winemaking
Dr. Patrick Mcgovern Director of the Biomolecular Archaeology Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and author of Ancient Wine:
and following the trail of the Eurasian grapevine (Vitis vinifera) in the wild and its domestication by humans this confirmation of the earliest evidence of viniculture in France is a key step in understanding the ongoing development of what he calls the wine culture of the world
France's rise to world prominence in the wine culture has been documented well especially since the 12th century when the Cistercian monks determined by trial-and-error that Chardonnay
and Pinot noir were the best cultivars to grow in Burgundy Dr. Mcgovern noted. What we haven't had is clear chemical evidence combined with botanical and archaeological data showing how wine was introduced into France
and initiated a native industry. Now we know that the ancient Etruscans lured the Gauls into the Mediterranean wine culture by importing wine into southern France.
This built up a demand that could only be met by establishing a native industry likely done by transplanting the domesticated vine from Italy and enlisting the requisite winemaking expertise from the Etruscans.
Combined Archaeological Chemical and Archaeobotanical Evidence Corroborate Discoveryat the site of Lattara merchant quarters inside a walled settlement circa 525-475 BCE held numerous Etruscan
and showed signs of residue on their interior bases where precipitates of liquids such as wine collect.
and one of the most sensitive techniques now available used here for the first time to analyze ancient wine
and wine in the middle East and Mediterranean) as well as compounds deriving from pine tree resin. Herbal additives to the wine were identified also including rosemary basil and/or thyme
which are native to central Italy where the wine was made likely. Alcoholic beverages in which resinous and herbal compounds are more easily put into solution were the principle medications of antiquity.
Nearby an ancient pressing platform made of limestone and dated circa 425 BCE was discovered. Its function had previously been uncertain.
Tartaric acid/tartrate was detected in the limestone demonstrating that the installation was indeed a winepress. Masses of several thousand domesticated grape seeds pedicels and even skin excavated from an earlier context near the press further attest to its use for crushing transplanted domesticated grapes and local wine production.
Olives were extremely rare in the archaeobotanical corpus at Lattara until Roman times. This is the first clear evidence of winemaking on French soil.
and expansion of a worldwide wine culture--one that has known its earliest roots in the ancient Near east circa 7000-6000 BCE with chemical evidence for the earliest wine at the site of Hajji Firiz in what is now northern
and drinking wine were all early indicators of a nascent wine culture. Viniculture--viticulture and winemaking--gradually expanded throughout the Near east.
Dr. Mcgovern observes a common pattern for the spreading of the new wine culture: First entice the rulers who could afford to import
and ostentatiously consume wine. Next foreign specialists are commissioned to transplant vines and establish local industries he noted.
Over time wine spreads to the larger population and is integrated into social and religious life.
Wine was imported first into Egypt from the Levant by the earliest rulers there forerunners of the pharaohs in Dynasty 0 (circa 3150 BCE.
As the earliest merchant seafarers the Canaanites were also able to take the wine culture out across the Mediterranean sea.
Biomolecular archaeological evidence attests to a locally produced resinated wine on the island of Crete by 2200 BCE.
As the larger Greek world was drawn into the wine culture Mcgovern noted the stage was set for commercial maritime enterprises in the western Mediterranean.
The wine culture continued to take root in foreign soil --and the story continues today. Where wine went so other cultural elements eventually followed--including technologies of all kinds
and social and religious customs--even where another fermented beverage made from different natural products had held long sway.
In the case of Celtic Europe grape wine displaced a hybrid drink of honey wheat/barley and native wild fruits (e g. lingonberry and apple) and herbs (such as bog myrtle yarrow and heather.

and focused on how individual animals responded to alcohol. Their findings may lead not only to a better understanding of addiction
Weiner said the study model focused on how individual animals responded to alcohol. Typically when a drug like alcohol is given to a mouse every day the way the animals respond increases--they become more stimulated
and run around more. In high doses alcohol is a depressant but in low doses it can have a mellowing effect that results in greater activity he said.
Those low dose effects tend to increase over time and this increase in activity in response to repeated alcohol exposure is called locomotor sensitization.
Prior studies with other drugs such as cocaine and amphetamine have suggested that animals that show the greatest increases in locomotor sensitization are also the animals most likely to seek out
However the relationship between locomotor sensitization and vulnerability to high levels of alcohol drinking is established not as well Weiner said.
But in this study the researchers focused on individual differences in how each animal responded to the alcohol.
while another was injected with the same amount of alcohol every day for three weeks. Weiner said they used mice bred to be genetically variable like humans to make the research more relevant.
We found large variations in the development of locomotor sensitization to alcohol in these mice with some showing robust sensitization
Surprisingly when all of the alcohol-exposed mice were given an opportunity to voluntarily drink alcohol those that had developed sensitization drank more than those that did not.
In fact the alcohol-treated mice that failed to develop sensitization drank no more alcohol than the saline-treated control group.
We found that this loss of the ability of brain cells to change the way that they communicate with each other only occurred in the animals that showed the behavioral response to alcohol he said.
