The wine we tried were from Turkey, Morocco, Greece, Tunisia and Lebanon. Turkey (old name Anatolia) is said to be the place where wine making was originally started around 4000 B.C. We had three bottles from Anatolia, made from native grapes whose taste were quite different from what we usually drink.
