Archaeologists claim to have discovered the world’s oldest winery, dating to about 6,100 years ago, in a remote cave in the mountains of Armenia.

An international team, which has made the discovery, says it has found a grape press, fermentation jars and even a cup and drinking bowl in the winery, the latest edition of the ’Journal of Archaeological Science’ reported.
