Nonetheless, the origins of wine are unknown, archaeological evidence suggests that wine was being made at least 8000 years ago, and there are indications that viticulture was carried on in Mesopotamia (the region that is now Iraq and eastern Syria) about 5000 years ago. The highest-quality wines were reserved for the Egyptian kings and pharaohs, and wine was accepted as payment for taxes.
