In the autumn of 1844, the Main School of Horticulture was established in Odessa, the curriculum of which provided for the study of horticulture, viticulture and winemaking. In 1859 the school was transferred to Uman. At the suggestion of the school, the production of wine from fruits and berries was legalized. To obtain a must similar to grape must, the highly acidic juice was diluted with water to normal acidity. It should be noted that fruit and berry winemaking in Ukraine originates from Uman. At the beginning of the XX century. in the Uman School of Horticulture, a special course was taught "Processing fruits and berries into wine." The educational farm of the school produced several varieties of wine, which were in great demand. Graduates of the Uman School used the recipes of wines at their place of work.

There is an expression in the Book of Genesis: "The grape is the tree of life." The first mention of the cultivation of grapes on the territory of Ukraine refers to the period VII-IV Art. BC Viticulture and winemaking developed around the ancient cities of Chersonese, Antikapeia, Tiritaki, Olbia in the territory of modern Nikolayevshchina. During the period of Kievan Rus, it is mentioned (Nikon's Chronicle of 1151) "Berendei and black hoods of the volost and poskosha grapes". Literary sources of the 6th century tell about the successful cultivation of grapes in the monastery gardens of Kyiv. In 1735, new vineyards were planted in Kyiv on the slopes of the Dnieper, and in 1758 - next to the Klovsky Palace, where in a few years there were about 30,000 bushes.

Осенью 1844 г. в г. Одесса было создано Главное училище садоводства, учебный план которого предусматривал изучение садоводства, виноградарства и виноделия. В 1859 году училище было переведено в Умань. По предложению училища было узаконено производство вина из плодов и ягод. Чтобы получить сусло подобно виноградному, высоко кислый сок разбавляли водой до нормальной кислотности. Следует заметить, что плодово-ягодное виноделие Украины берет свое начало из Умани. В начале ХХ ст. в Уманском училище садоводства преподавали специальный курс «Переработка плодов и ягод в вино». Учебное хозяйство училища производило несколько сортов вина, которое пользовалось большим спросом. Выпускники Уманского училища по месту работы применяли рецептуры вин.
