Tunisian wine has a long history dating back to the Antiquity like most Mediterranean countries with the Phoenicians and Carthage . The agronomist Mago that lived in the city of Carthage, wrote a treaty about agronomy and viticulture, from which its techniques are still used until this day. Despite the arrival of a Muslim power since the 7th century AD, viticulture and wine production never quite disappeared from Tunisia.〔Pascal Airault et Sonia Mabrouk, « L'offensive internationale des vins du Maghreb », ''Jeune Afrique'', 11 mai 2008, pp. 75-77〕〔Frida Dahmani, « Les crus prennent de la bouteille », ''Jeune Afrique'', 4 juillet 2010, p. 50〕 Rosé wine accounts for a large proportion of the Tunisian production. ==History== Sousse mosaic palm tree.JPG|Vine and palm Villa rustica Tabarka.jpg|Mosaic of the ''villa rustica'' of Tabarka Henchir choud el battal pressoir vin Saladin.jpg|Reconstruction of a wine press near Fériana Triumph of Bacchus - Sousse.jpg|Mosaic of the ''Triumph of Bacchus'' in Sousse Archaeological Museum Sousse museum mosaic kitchen.jpg|Basket of grapes Wine production in today's Tunisia was probably introduced by the Phoenicians when Carthage was established. The Carthaginian agronomist Mago wrote on viticulture, and his works, which were later translated from Punic to Latin, were quoted by later Roman writers such as Columella.〔 Wine production continued after the Romans occupied Carthage in 146 BC. After Tunisia's conquest by Arabs in the 8th century AD, wine production was reduced but not eliminated.〔(Our Guide to Tunisian Red Wine ), Tunisia Live 2011-11-04〕 Subsequent to the French conquest of Tunisia in 1881, large-scale wine production was introduced into the country, similar to the other North African countries. After Tunisia's independence in 1956, wine production continued but lack of expertise became a problem, and the area under vine slowly decreased.〔 From the late 1990s, Tunisia has seen foreign investment in its wine industry from several European countries,〔 and production is slowly increasing in the 2000s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tunisian wine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
