Where do spirits originate from?
Humans have been drinking wine for more than 10.000 years, but scientists didn’t discover the most important thing before the middle ages. They heated the wine, making the alcohol evaporate quicker than the water, and in that way collect a stronger concentration of alcohol through the alcoholic fumes: spirits.
The oldest versions of spirits are expected to originate from dates and honey, because wild grapes and fruits have a too high level of sugar to create good wine. This is why a lot of time is spend growing special grapes and fruit to use.
In Greece, about 2700 years ago, they created wine containing 15% alcohol, and therefore they created the strongest possible alcohol at the time, and according to The Old Testament the first thing Noah did after the great flood, was to plant wine fields.
