The media emphasizes the fact that the unique exhibits kept in the Wine History Museum recently opened in Armenia open the way for visitors to the past and modern solutions of Armenian winemaking, showing the deep connection of the region, religion, culture, and medicine with Armenian wine.
"The museum is located only 30 km away from Yerevan, in Armenia Wine Winery, it is located in 8 meters deep basalt rocks ։ when you go through an underground tunnel, you feel like you are entering a huge wine cellar."- says "Euronews" adding; "The historical-archeological-ethnographic samples in the museum show how the wine accompanied the Armenians from the cradle to the burial rites." Taking advantage of the museum's tendency to popularize the culture of ancient winemaking, "Euronews" points out the existence of a bibliography, which proves that Armenia is truly the cradle of winemaking.
