Yes, it did. Muscat is the capital of Oman which is located by the Indian ocean in the Arabian Peninsula. Oman has a mountain, about 3000 meters above the sea level. It is called "The Green Mountain". Inhabitants of this mountain have been, for hundreds of years, growing a white small aromatic grapes. The climate in this mountain is the most suitable for this kind of grapes. When colonists; namel, Portugese colonized the coastal part of Oman, they were introduced to this kind of grapes. They loved it and started making a white wine out of it. They ranked it among products from the "noble grapes" Then, Portugese exported both the wine and the grape's tree to Europe and named it "Muscat", which means "grapes of Muscat". Nowadays, Muscat is grown and produced in the French "Alsace".
