Wine in Lebanon: the grapes of wrath

Wine in Lebanon: the grapes of wrath

6
(TheGuardian) - In search of a glass in a country where the wine industry dates back 5,000 years and has survived wars and intolerant religions."When we started planting the vineyard, we found a cluster bomb on the ground that had been dropped on the village in 1983. The army said it would take two weeks to get here, but I had 1,000 vines that had to be in the ground immediately or else they'd die. So with a couple of brave young men, we decided to plant the vines. Thank God nobody got hurt."
