Summary/Abstract: Grapevine cultivation and wine drinking in Great Moravia and Bohemia are attested by the Great Moravian legal manuscripts as Old Slavonic Nomokanonú, Zakonú sudnyi ljudümú and ZapovÏ di svÍ tyichú otücü, and Bohemian legal document as in Latin written Decreta Bretislai. In the wine-growing law the adoption of legal traditions of Byzantine origin or from classical Antiquity was reflected more noticeably than in the written historical sources or archaeological material.
