Currently creating a stir on the international market, Lebanese wine is the product of a rich heritage dating back 5,000 years. Despite Ottoman domination, regional turmoil, civil conflict and religious intolerance, Lebanon has consistently produced world-class wines. Michael Karam and Norbert Schiller take us on a journey from the Bekaa Valley to the little vineyards of Mount Lebanon. At once a wine guide and cultural history, this extensively illustrated book is a valuable reference for wine buffs, travellers and casual readers alike. It is a long-overdue tribute to one of the world's oldest winemaking regions.

Having attended a tasting of Lebanese wines with Michael Karam l was amazed at how little l knew about Lebanese wine. The quality and range is truly amazing and this book reinforces the history and production of their wines.
It makes me smile when certain Antipodean wineries advertise that they have been producing wine for 150 years, Lebanon has been doing it for Two Thousand years !
