Characteristics of the Vine
The vine (Vitis vinifera) is a woody, perennial shrub that grows in many parts of the world. It is an angiosperm plant and belongs to the Vitaceae family. Its fruits are grapes, one of the favorite fruits of summer. It prefers a Mediterranean climate, sunny locations and fertile soil. Depending on the variety, the vine may grow as a climber or spread its slender woody shoots several meters away from the main trunk.
The vine begins to form its fruits in May, which develop in clusters. After three months, in August, the grapes are ready to eat, and there are many varieties available, among which the Greek Savatiano, Muscat, Samos, Roditis, Kotsifali, etc.
The vine is cultivated mainly for the consumption of its fruits, for wine and grape molasses production. From its seeds the precious grapeseed oil is produced.
History of the Vine
The history of the vine could be said to begin with the history of humankind itself! There are references to ancestral vine seeds from the Neolithic era in different parts of the world, from the fertile valleys of the Mediterranean to the foothills of the Himalayas.
It is well known that it is closely linked to the culture and myths of Ancient Greece, such as in Homer’s epic the Odyssey, in which it is mentioned that Odysseus defeated the Cyclops after first managing to get him drunk with wine.
The ancient Greeks had dedicated the vine to the god Dionysus, and wine always accompanied celebrations of success and victory.
The vine and wine are also mentioned in many passages of the New Testament and are considered a sacred symbol and element in ecclesiastical sacraments.
