The history of wine making on the South of Russia
In ancient times vineyard and wine making
on the Black sea coasts had its period of bloom and decay
connected with the history of development of city - states. Nevertheless
after destroyment and disappearance of Greek settlements on
the territory of Anapa and Taman region in the third
century of our time the art of preparing wonderful wines did
not disappear.
In
the 18 th century Kuban and Black sea areas were being inhabited
by Russians. The new stage in the development of
wine making starts. The vine is being brought by 2 main streams
of settlers. In the Eastern steep regions of Kuban the military
settlers from Don and other places of Central Russia founded
their villages. They brought with them vine grown on
Don - river coasts.
The Black sea kazaks
inhabited the South - West of Black and Azov sea areas and Central
steep regions of nowadays Krasnodarskii krai. The motherland of their
vines is coasts of Dnepr - river and the mouth of Dunai - river.
In
the 18th century vineyard and wine making did not develop
widely due to constant Caucasus war. The vine requires patience
and attention and kazaks were military people and fought more
than ploughed soil.
Krasnodarskii krai
is the southern region of modern Russia.
Kuban
is the North - Eastern part of Krasnodarskii krai.
