世界上最古老的酒的实物被认为出现于大约公元前5400年的伊朗。1994年,美国宾夕法尼亚大学考古队在伊朗一处新石器时代遗址发掘出土两件盛有液体的陶罐,经检测,确认这是当时所知的世界上最古老的白酒,因而酿酒的历史可追溯至距今7000年前。中国古代酒文化丰富多彩,源远流长,一向被认为是世界上最早酿酒的国家之一,但长期以来酒的起源问题因缺乏实物发现和严密的科学检测而得不到科学的解释,仅仅依靠互相抵牾的文献和传说以及考古发现的类似于晚期酒具的所谓原始“酒器”的出现加以推测,对于酒的起源与农耕文化的关系问题也存在截然相反的意见。关于中国古酒的起源问题在前人的研究中最早可以追溯到黄帝时代, The oldest wine in the world is believed to have appeared in Iran about 5400 BC. In 1994, the University of Pennsylvania Archeology team unearthed two liquid jars from a Neolithic site in Iran. After testing, it was confirmed that this was the oldest known white spirit in the world and the history of winemaking can be traced back To 7000 years ago. Ancient Chinese wine culture is colorful and has a long history and has always been regarded as one of the earliest countries in the world to make wine. However, for a long time, the problem of the origin of wine has not been scientifically explained by the lack of physical discovery and rigorous scientific tests, The literature and legends, as well as the appearance of archeological discoveries similar to those of late-stage wines, are presumed to be diametrically opposed to the question of the relationship between the origin of wine and the culture of farming. On the origin of ancient Chinese wine in the study of the predecessors can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor era,
