A legend about the wine that seems curious is the Persian, reported by Omar Khayyam
Jamsheed was a Persian king at whose court the grapes were preserved in jars so they could be eaten out of season. On one occasion, one of the pitchers began to exhale a strange smell, and the grapes it contains foaming, so the kettle was put aside for anyone to poison. A young harem, suffering terrible headaches, decided to commit suicide by drinking "poison", only that instead of causing his death, the brew brought peace and a sleep that gave him strength. The king, after hearing the story of young commanded to make a larger quantity of wine, so he and his court could take it.
