The Ancient Egyptians added various pieces of information to amphorae containing wine, creating what are considered to be the oldest known wine labels. www.labrujulaverde.com/en/2024/01/h...

They included one or more of the following details: The year the wine was presented to the pharaoh, usually coinciding with the production year. Its quality, ranging from genuine to good and very good. The occasion it was presented, for example, New Year festivals. The geographical region where it was produced. The name of the vineyard owner (mostly bearing the name of the corresponding pharaoh, as the vineyards were mostly royal property). The name or title of the person offering the wine to the pharaoh. The name of the chief viticulturist. Occasionally, the capacity of the container.
