Massilia, a greek colony named Marseille today, was founded around 600 BCE,
afair. Massiliotic amphorae, which probably contained wine, were traded as
far away as southern Germany in the early 5th c. BCE. So there was probably
a professional wine production by that time.

Drinking sets, made up of a largish container and matching cups, often
including a ladle and/or strainer, are common in the European Bronce age.
But we don't know if they already drunk wine. These drinking sets keep
appearing in graves till the 3rd c. CE.

Do you really believe they could resist? Or do you think they were
just looking at it?
