Milk from domesticated animals was stowed away in ill-suited environments and cheese was subsequently discovered. By then people have already looked for ways to manufacture cheese. Wine, on the other hand, is as old as civilization itself. The cheese and wine culture we have today is greatly influenced by the spread of the Roman Empire throughout Europe and its neighbours.
