"The history of alcohol in the ancient world extends back before recorded time. Although no one knows when beverage alcohol was first used, it was presumably the result of an accident that occurred at least tens of thousands of years ago. Chemical analyses of organics absorbed and preserved in pottery jars from the Neolithic village of Jiahu, in Henan province, Northern China, have revealed that a mixed fermented beverage of rice, honey, and fruit was being produced as early as 9,000 years ago in the Neolithic period. This is approximately the same time that barley beer and grape wine were beginning to be made in the Middle East. Wine clearly appeared as a finished product in Egyptian pictographs around 4,000 B.C.. Oral tradition recorded in the Old Testament (Genesis 9:20) asserts that Noah planted a vineyard on Mt. Ararat in what is now Turkey. In Samaria, beer and wine were used for medicinal purposes as early as 2,000 B.C."
