Koor Dry Red Wine Reserve 2018 at. 14.5% 0.75 l, Armenia

The wine was named KOOR (Kur) in honor of the ancient story of how Armenians produced wine and exported it. Herodotus tells about this in detail in one of his works: Armenian merchants descended from Armenia to Babylon downstream of the Euphrates River on round boats made of leather and wooden rods. Barrels of wine and a donkey were transported in a boat. In Babylon, after selling all the wine, the merchants dismantled the boats, loaded them onto donkeys and returned back to Armenia by land.
