Lesbian wine
Lesbian wine is wine made on the Greek island of Lesbos in the Aegean Sea. The island has a long history of winemaking dating back to at least the 7th century BC when it was mentioned in the works of Homer.〔Homer. ''Odyssey'', X.235.〕〔 During this time the area competed with the wines of Chios for the Greek market. An apocryphal account details one of the brothers of the poet Sappho as a merchant trading Lesbian wine with the Greek colony of Naucratis in Egypt. The most noted Lesbian wine was known as ''Pramnian'' which draws similarities today to the Hungarian wine Eszencia.〔H. Johnson. ''Vintage: The Story of Wine''. Simon and Schuster, 1989, ISBN 0-671-68702-6, p. 44.〕 The popularity of Lesbian wine continued into Roman times where it was highly valued along with other Aegean wines of Chios, Thasos and Kos.〔J. Robinson (ed) ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' (Third Edition). Oxford University Press, 2006, ISBN 0-19-860990-6, p. 5.〕
==Viticulture and wine==
The warm Mediterranean climate of Lesbos provides a suitable climate for viticulture to flourish. While the exact grapes for the Pramnian are not known, its method of production was recorded. The grapes were allowed to hang on the vine, like that of a late harvest wine, till they were at their ripest points. After harvest, they were piled in large containers to the point that the weight of the clusters crushed the grapes underneath them producing free run juice without the use of a wine press. This juice was said to be very thick and a sort of nectar.
