To the foreword

Writing a panel story about wine is relied on historical sources. The
research demands from us each and every time, extreme seriousness. In this text
there is no space for legends and mythical stories. But one is surely interesting and
by its audacity overcomes the boundaries of this type of literature. Namely, in
conversation with my friends who are dealing with similar issues, we were
searching for an answer to the question why the Tikvesh region is one of the most
significant wine-region in this part of the Balkans.
Beside the historical genesis of the viticulture and wine making, one very
interesting explanation has imposed itself. Thousand of years ago after the big
eruptions on planet Venus, cloud made of dust has been released into space that
reached even planet Earth. The atmosphere was filled with dust called ambrosia.
Pulled down by intensive raining, part of this dust fell on Tikvesh soil. The rose of
the winds took further participation in filling this region. The composition of the
soil in Tikves region is ideal for wine production. We don’t have written sources
about this occurrence, but we do have information about the dust from Sahara
desert that can reach our areas and store itself here.
Maybe planet Venus is very far away, but Sahara desert is quite near during
the major cyclone activity.
