• Our restaurant has the best-known Georgian wine.
Georgia is one of the oldest wine producing regions
of the South Caucasus, the source of the world's
first cultivated grapevines and neolithic wine production, started over 7000 years ago.

• Beer is one of the world's oldest prepared
and most widely consumed alcoholic beverages,
possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or
9000 BC, and is recorded in the written history
of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

• The earliest known printed use of the word
"cocktail" was in The Farmer’s Cabinet,
April 28, 1803. "What is a cocktail?":
"Cocktail is a stimulating liquor composed of spirits
of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters - it is vulgarly
called a bittered sling and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, inasmuch as it
renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time
that it fuddles the head."

• The origin of "liquor" and its close relative "liquid",
was the Latin verb liquere, meaning "to be fluid".
Distilled alcoholic beverages first appeared
in Europe in the 12th century among alchemists
who were more interested in brewing medical elixirs
than in making gold from lead. They first appeared
under the name aqua ardens (burning water) in the Compendium Salerni from the medical school at Salerno. The production method was written in code,
suggesting that it was being kept secret.
