Wine was around at Roman times & biblical times. Yo Momma so old she fermented the first bottles of wine.

Yes, but it was imported from Europe and, though popular in the East, was less so out in the West, where corn or rye whisky or bourbon were cheaper and more potent. Generally, God-fearing Christians (ones that weren't teetotal) might have a wine, but roughneck cowboys drank whisky and rye and ****** drank gin.

Wh*res, sex workers, ladies of the night, drank gin.

Obviously..and if you had any doubts listen to the whining that went on on any ranch. Remember the old aussie joke( yeah right..I don't care, they stick it up us too!!) .."hear about the aboriginie who was run over when the valiant reversed up the drive, some one had told him it had a w(h)ine in the diff" USA was a spanish occupation well before the alleged "Mayflower" suddenly sailed into this uninhabited paradise...so wine was the go, whisky helps you perspire as well as defining your manhood so I guess "whisky bartender" was really the go there. Cheers

The first I ever heard about wine was in the Bible after the great flood...yes, I believe in the Bibical account of the flood.....Noah was a farmer and grew grapes, they fermented and he got drunk so yes, I assume wine was around for the cowboy.
