In fact, in ancient Greece, Hippocrates, known as the patron of medicine, already prescribing to their patients the wine as a laxative, antipyretic, antiseptic and diuretic. Also among the Hindus, since the year 2000. C., the wine was already valued and their properties
recognized medicinal. It was even used as an efficient anesthetic preoperatively. In Rome, the medicine took advantage of the therapeutic properties of wine. Galen, the great encyclopedist of medicine, with wine disinfected the wounds of gladiators.
Parallel to the role and is represented in the table, religion, and economy of the people, the wine must be prescribed by doctors as a healthy drink, which is nothing new, as Dioscorides, the father of pharmacology in the first century of our was, and Hippocrates of Kos, the father of medicine, four centuries before, already mentioned his role as medicine.
