WINE and WAR
The Untold Story of Wine in the Middle East
Woven into Lebanon’s ancient history is a rich tradition of wine-making. Unravelling the story of the world’s first wine merchants, this is a complex testament to the Lebanese peoples’ courage in the face of adversity and a deep dive into the history of a nation which has bred masters of crisis management; a skill personified by the winemakers, who for thousands of years have gone about their work in war, famine, and occupation.
