The ancient history of Lebanese wines
Lebanon is known to be one of the oldest sites of wine production in the world. In fact, it is believed to have origins dating back to 780-725 BC with the Israelite prophet Hosea likening the return of the followers to Yahweh to the fragrant and blossoming wine that is produced in the Lebanon area
Whilst many people in the UK may have not known Lebanon to be a wine producing country, its history in winemaking spans around 5,000 years.
Back in the early beginnings, the biblical land of Canaan (which Lebanon forms part of) was the home to the wedding where by Jesus is believed to have turned water into wine.
The Phoenicians (1550 BC and 300 BC), Present day Lebanon, are known to have been amongst the first to domesticate the grape, Vitis vinifera (common grape vine), and produce wine. In fact, the term wine is derived from a Phoenician term which describes the process of fermentation of wine.
The Phoenicians perfected the art of wine making throughout the ancient world and used wine to bring in revenue realising the valuable trade commodity for personal consumption as well as religious and cultural significance. To various Levantine deities wine was considered an acceptable offering to both gods and kings, increasing its trade value in the ancient world. Around 1000 BC, the Mediterranean wine trade exploded, making the Phoenicians and their extensive maritime trade network prime beneficiaries of the increased demand. The Phoenicians not only traded in wine produced in Canaan but also developed markets for wine produced in colonies and port cities around the Mediterranean Sea
As Phoenicians recognised that wine could be big business, they stored their wine to protect it from oxidation within amphorae; this features a layer of olive oil and was sealed with pine and resin. The wine was then transported to civilisations that were unable to create their own wine. One of the leading consumers of ancient Lebanese wines were the Egyptians who were known to be a civilisation that were not easy to please due to their fastidious, demanding and particular nature.
When Romans took over Lebanon from the Phoenicians they built their Temple of Bacchus their famous iconic landmark in Baalbek. Bacchus was the Roman god of wine and the Romans found Baalbek Lebanon fitting as the Romans knew it has some of the oldest known wine caves with Lebanon among the oldest sites of wine production in the world.
Once Lebanon became part of the Caliphate, wine production declined, although under the millet system it was tolerated among the Christian population for religious purposes. The Christians also developed Arak, an ouzo-like spirit flavoured with aniseed.
Modern Lebanese wine production
Lebanon now produces around 600,000 cases of wine per year. Lebanon has featured as a leading producer and/or provider of Ancient World Wines by BBC, CNN, the Travel Channel, New York Times and TV5.
This is all despite some huge conflicts and political issues in the area that has meant that wine production in Lebanon is not the easiest.
Why is Lebanon so good at producing wine?
With a rich history creating beautiful wine, Lebanon has all the skills, knowledge and experience in using their grapes to make delicious wine that is enjoyed throughout the world. Lebanons advantage lays in its climate, as it receives over 300 days of sunshine each and every year. Not only are that the vineyards are not irrigated; vines are grown naturally with minimal intervention thus encouraging biodiversity.
Geographical location and way that this makes Lebanese wine good
If you want to see just why Lebanon has such an in depth history of beautiful wine production then all you need to do is sample some for yourself, please follow our Facebook page for wine tasting events near you. We promise you that you will instantly fall in love with all the ancient taste and flavour that can only come from Lebanese wine.
“Genesis 14:18 mentions that the Phoenician King Melchizedek gave bread and wine (yayin) to Abraham, and Hosea 14:8 suggests "his fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon".
