ANCIENT APERITIF BEVERAGES

Nodira Yusupova ,

Abstract

This article analyzes aperitif drinks that were widely popular in the ancient world, examining their historical origins, composition, and potential health benefits. Since antiquity, humanity has developed its own dietary traditions and food culture, with each region distinguished by specific features in the organization of meals. One of the stable elements of such traditions was the consumption of special drinks before meals, which stimulated the appetite. Their preparation was generally determined by the natural conditions and resource availability of each particular region. The article also pays special attention to the local specificity of aperitif drinks characteristic of different cultural and historical areas.
