Aromatised Wines Are One of the Oldest Drinks in the World

The history of aromatised wine back dates to the past eight millennia. Aromatised wine has long been used as medicine to cure the sick and the injured. Well-known people such as Cicero, Pythagoras and Hippocrates used to manufacture aromatised wine for the benefit of the sick.

In the middle ages, monks used to take aromatised wine before praying, so that their minds can reach their “desired mental states of complete peace, comfort and oneness with the Creator.” However, the shift towards using aromatised wine as a beverage instead of medicine started in the 17th century.

The onset of the 17th century brought about remarkable people who were more interested in marketing aromatised wine as a brand. For instance, there was Antonio Benedetto, who marketed aromatised wine as a beverage in the Italian’s Savoy Court. He even exported it to the rest of the world with the Italian Court of Arms as its label.
