In ancient Egypt, the kitchen was an essential part of the household, and it often included a built-in custom wine wall. The Egyptians were skilled winemakers, and they took great pride in their wine collection. The wine wall was typically made of limestone or granite and had intricate carvings and hieroglyphics depicting scenes of wine production and consumption. The shelves were designed to hold the wine jars, which were often sealed with clay or wax to preserve the flavor. The wine wall not only served as a storage space but also as a decorative element in the kitchen. It added a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design.
