Boron (Hungarian wine)

Hungarian term (FN = földrajzi jelzés nélküli Bor) for wine without origin; see there.

Wine has been produced for at least 6,000 to perhaps 8,000 years, whereby the historical landscapes of Mesopotamia and Transcaucasia as well as south-east Anatolia in Turkey near Mount Ararat are thought to be the cradle of viticulture (according to the Bible, Noah's Ark landed there). Beer is probably even older. Beer and wine are the earliest evidence of human drinking culture. A sophisticated wine culture developed in ancient Greece and Rome.
