Geographical term (trans = beyond) or historical landscape for the area south of the 1,500 km long Caucasus mountain range, which forms a land bridge between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea and is of great importance for the transport of goods from China and Central Asia to Europe. The area includes the former USSR states of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia as well as neighbouring parts of Turkey, which once belonged to ancient Armenia, and together with Mesopotamia to the south, this area in Asia is considered to be the possible origin of cultivated vines and wine culture.
