Wine (Production)

Wine is one of the most important agricultural products in the Middle East and the Mediterranean. There are indications that wine was already being produced there around 3 000 BC.
Wine is made of grapes, the fruit of the vine. In Israel, there was also a lot of land suitable for wine production. Even in areas with little rainfall, such as the Negev Desert, there were still vineyards.
