Israel Wine

Wine production in Israel dates back to biblical times, with archaeological evidence of ancient winemaking throughout the region. The modern Israeli wine industry was revitalized in the 1880s by Baron Edmond de Rothschild and has experienced a quality revolution since the 1980s. Israel produces premium wines from varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carignan in regions including the Golan Heights, Galilee, and Judean Hills.
