That's Wine! - Season 1 Episode 5 Aflevering 5
Uncover unusual wine destinations
From biblical times, wine has held a significant role in the daily life of the Holy Land. In the present day, Israel stands as one of the most contradictory and intricate nations, with these very contradictions finding their expression within the wine cultures of both Israeli and Palestinian territories. Our journey will immerse us in the narrative of the region's initial major wineries, as well as its earliest family-run establishments. We will acquaint ourselves with the principles governing an orthodox winery that produces kosher wine, and we will venture into the unparalleled setting of a winery nestled within an arid desert. Through this exploration, we will trace the pursuit of a winemaking identity via the revival of ancient local grape varieties, a feat achieved by Palestinian cultivators, and scrutinize the feasibility of fostering dialogue in disputed territories through the winemaking.
