HISTORY FROM GOLD BEHIND THE PRODUCT
The most amusing god of Ancient Greece, the funniest, the happiest, could only be one: the god Dionysus! He offered people the most valuable Gift, wine.
Thus, we often see him taking his company and traveling around Greece to teach the secrets of his art, viticulture. Maenads with long braided hair, Satyrs and Ceylons, all danced their ecstatic dance around him, praising the wine! In fact, from this peculiar company, from the goats that surrounded the god, the foundations of the tragedy were laid.
ΛIt even happens that from the moment that the shepherd of the king of Aetolia, Oeneas, discovered the fruits of the grapes and squeezed them, Dionysus chose this name for the magic drink: "wine"!
The etymology of the word "wine" followed later. It is born from the habit of the Ancient Greeks to drink their wine ΄΄kekrameno΄΄, which means mixed with water.
Countless historical and mythological references to the festivals held in honor of the god Dionysus, the famous Dionysian mysteries to please Dionysus for his divine gift to the human race.
