Codri
Codru (plural form: ''codri''; ) is the name of the forests that grow in the hilly part of central Moldova. While the Moldovans today speak a Romance language, the name "codru" is likely of pre-Roman origin, and possibly derived from the indigenous Paleo-Balkan languages such as Thraco-Illyrian (which includes Daco-Thracian), spoken by the pre-Roman and pre-Hellenic people of the region. The word for hill is "kodra" (the plural rolling hills or small hills are "kodrina") in Albanian, which is the sole survivor of Thraco-Illyrian. History During the Middle Ages most of the Principality of Moldavia's hills were forested, and the forested area in general was referred to as ''codrii'', with bigger regional forests often given names such as ''Codrii Cosminului'' (''Cosmin Codrii''), ''Codrii Plonini'' (''Plonini Codrii''), ''Codrii Hotinului'' (''Hotin Codrii''; also, ''Pădurea Hotinului'', ''Hotin Forest''), ''Codrii Orheiului'' (''Orhei Codrii''), ''Codrii Lăpușnei'' (''Lăpuș ...

History The earliest evidence of wine production dates from between 6000 and 5000 BC. Wine making technology improved considerably with the ancient Greeks but it was not until the end of the Roman Empire that cultivation techniques as we know them were common throughout Europe. In medieval Europe the Catholic Church was a staunch supporter of wine, which was necessary for the celebration of the Mass (liturgy), Mass.
