Nobody knows exactly when humans began to create fermented beverages. The earliest known evidence comes from 7, 000 BCE in China, where residue in clay pots has revealed that people were making an alcoholic beverage from fermented rice, millet, grapes, and honey. So how did alcohol come to fuel global trade and exploration? Rod Phillips explores the evolution of alcohol. Lesson by Rod Phillips, directed by Anton Bogaty

Why didnt you include the bit of information where the middle eastern alchemists coined the term spirit! When the video introduced the image of the distillation head it would have been a good time to simply include for those who care: Middle eastern alchemists, in search of effective medicinal elixirs, referred to the collection of the vapors of one substance to gather another was called collecting the spirit of a substance. Hence why today we call distilled alcohols spirits. and go on. You simply show the Distilling equipment, skip that part, and then go on to call them spirits without context! So funny how alchemists get written out of history.

What a scorn on society. If only it had never been consumed except for preservation, the world would be such a better place.
