In ancient Greek, the term ‘Naut’ means ‘sailor or seaman’. In Gaul (France in ancient times), the Nauts were a brotherhood of sailors that navigated the rivers of France. They were ship owners and tradesmen and developed commerce, facilitating exchanges between French cities. This trade enabled winemakers to promote their know-how throughout the country by shipping their wines in large terracotta amphorae.
