    How about a glass of red wine? Maybe from this press . . . . .

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Archeologists have unearthed the oldest wine-making facility ever found, using biochemical techniques to identify a dry red vintage made about 6,000 years ago in what is now southern Armenia.

    The excavation paints a picture of a complex society where mourners tasted a special vintage made at a caveside cemetery, the researchers reported on Tuesday in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

    "This is the world's oldest known installation to make wine," Gregory Areshian of the University of California Los Angeles, who helped lead the study, said in a telephone interview.

    Carbon dating showed a desiccated grape vine found near a wine press was grown around 4000 BC, his team reported.

    This makes it 1,000 years older than any other wine-making facility discovered, the team from Armenia, the United States and Ireland reported.

    Wonder if they found any old, moldy cheese to go with the wine?

    Meanwhile, more hot choco please, Richard?

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.
