Italian Wine $108.33 Italian wine is wine produced in Italy, a country which is home to some of the oldest wineproducing regions in the world. Etruscans and Greek settlers produced wine in the country long before the Romans started developing their own vineyards in the 2nd century BC. Roman grapegrowing and winemaking was prolific and wellorganized, pioneering largescale production and storage techniques like barrelmaking and bottling. Two thousand years later, Italy remains one of the worlds foremost producers, responsible for approximately onefifth of world wine production in 2005. Wine is a popular drink in Italy. Grapes are grown in almost every part of Italy, with more than 1 million vineyards under cultivation. In some places the vines are trained along low supports. In others they climb as slender saplings. Most winemaking in Italy is done in modern wineries. However, villagers who make wine for their own use sometimes still tread the grapes with their bare feet, until the juice is squeezed out. They believe this ancient method still makes the best wine.
