All of these threads on wine and beer and stuff, reminded me of my history lessons in junior school. We were doing some stuff on pre-history and the teacher started going on about this massive culture(4,000 bc) about which very little was known. The people were known as 'the beaker people' because of the clay pots that identified them. The problem was this, the area they covered was immense, and they seemed to coexist with the indiginous population.
The main theory was that they were traders and their pots carried whatever it was they were trading, wheat or barley or whatever. I always thought they were probably trading ale, I mean, that would get you a welcome anywhere wouldn't it ?
