I don't know, is there much to suuport this persons claims?

Who exactly is AGI?

Tartaric acid is found in many plants, a short list;

avocados
bananas
cherries
currants, red
grapefruit
grapes
lemons
limes
pears
plums
tamarind
tomatoes
and the list goes on.

With all the fruit containing tartaric acid how can they say for sure wine made from grapes is the source?

The article is certainly lacking many important details. However, Patrick McGovern is a well-known researcher of the history of wine and other fermented beverages. He has also authored two books on the ancient history of wine. I too would like to know more about his findings, I will check my local library for a copy of his books.
