Wines of Tunisia

Wine production in Tunisia has ancient roots, with Carthaginian agricultural treatises from the 2nd century BCE describing viticultural practices. The modern industry was developed during French colonial rule in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tunisia produces wines from varieties including Carignan, Mourvèdre, and Muscat, with key regions around Cap Bon, Mornag, and Grombalia.
