The article discusses the early stages of the process of winemaking, as well as the use of wineskins during the process in ancient Greece. The main evidence of the process of making wine comes from a red-figured psykter, an ancient Greek pottery vessel in the Getty Museum, which has been attributed to the vase painter Smikros. According to the author, the Getty psykter is unique in showing both the making and selling of wine on the same vase. He stresses that the transformation of the gleukos replicates the original invention of wine as the result of Dionysos' discovery and dissemination of the vine plant.
