Wine is part of Modern Civilization
Modern civilization is generally considered to have begun during the Neolithic Age, between 10,000 BC and 3,000 BC, when humanity transitioned from a nomadic to an agrarian lifestyle. As early humans settled into permanent communities, they developed new ways of living.
This shift allowed for observation, creation, planning, building, mourning lost souls, and celebrating achievements. Pottery, animal domestication, farming, beer, religion, social laws, and other fundamental components of modern society emerged or flourished during this period.
From these early farms and permanent settlements, winemaking became part of human evolution. Archaeological evidence indicates that winemaking dates back to around 6,000 BC, making wine older than coffee and tea.
Winemaking and distribution have been integral to the human adventure on this planet. While we may one day produce wine on the Moon, Mars, and beyond, all winemaking in the universe will always compare itself to the choicest regions on Earth—the standard of good wine.
José Moura Selections has established relationships in these esteemed regions, enabling the working people of the US and Puerto Rico to sample the standards of wine excellence.
