I am surprised that this find is the oldest at 1,700 BC. Winemaking goes back a lot further. In my limited travels, we were in Umbria, Italy where there are Etruscan founded settlements like Orvieto with underground caves where all sorts of goods, including wine were stored. Those sites are known to be 2,500-3,000 years old so I would think there would be older sites elsewhere.
