Wine has been made in Bulgarian lands for more than 3000 years.

Bulgaria is one of the oldest wine producers in the world. In fact, archaeological evidence indicates that people started making wine in Bulgarian lands as early as 1000 BC. These people were the ancient Thracians - Indo-European tribes, who inhabited the lands of modern-day Bulgaria.
The Thracians worshipped wine as a divine drink and had their God of Wine - Zagreus. They were famous for their skills at war and winemaking. In Homer’s The Illiad, Thracian wine is mentioned several times as the best wine in the world. A few badass Thracian figures you’ve definitely heard about are Orpheus - the legendary musician, and Spartacus - the gladiator who led the largest slave rebellion against the Roman Empire in the 1st Century AD.
