Wine - How was it Made and Used?

 

Life



Wine was fairly popular during the Middle Ages. It wasn't only used for getting drunk - it also acquired many uses including healing cuts and relieving pain.

Wine improved fairly as time passed. Firstly, wine was simply made with people jumping on grapes. This didn't change until many centuries later - but what did change was the quality of the wine per se.

Feasts were very common and wine was present in all of them. Besides ceremonies, wine was also used in festivals and special celebrations.

For the lower social classes, wine resulted almost as a prohibited drink because of its cost. Nevertheless, some kings managed to make peasants happy by giving them free wine. This made, of course, everybody happy.
