The Egyptian legend about the origin of the wine

In Egypt, Osiris, the god of the afterlife, was the patron of the vine, and the Egyptians not only drank wine as used to purify the altar and the victim in religious sacrifices. In addition, wine jars were part of the treasures that should accompany the royal mummies in their last trip. In the tomb of Tutankhamen 36 amphorae were found, and in 33 of them contained the name of the chief winemaker and 26 are "labeled", bringing various information such as the origin, age or classification ("sweet", "new" or "great quality").
