Ancient Alcohol: Virtual Tour & Lecture w/ the Penn Museum
Uncover 9,000 years of wine culture around the globe in this virtual tour of ancient winemaking. Explore the role of wine in the human story from agriculture and trade to social life and religion. Learn how wine is fermented from palm tree sap—a method still enjoyed by many cultures today—and see what happens when you add resin, fruit, or even cheese to your glass! You’ll hear from archaeological scientists about ancient plant remains and grape DNA, and tour guide Janelle Sadarananda will answer your history and wine related questions along the way.
Drinking together has been a tradition for thousands of years. Log on, pour yourself a glass, and let us be your designated driver as you party with our ancestors like it’s 7000 BCE!
