Albert Anker , Switzerland)

Annual
wine
festivals celebrate
viticulture and usually occur after the harvest of the grapes which, in the northern hemisphere, generally falls at the end of September and runs until well into October or later. They are common in most
wine regions around the world and are to be considered in the tradition of other harvest festivals.
The Egyptian god
Osiris was dedicated to wine, but the oldest historically documented wine festivals can be traced back to the Greek celebrations for their wine god
Dionysos .[

In culture
Fields of grape vines
The
grape , and the extraction of its juice to produce wine, is more than a flavorsome food or drink. Both grapes and wine have immense cultural significance in many cultures, and often religious significance too.
