The Lebanese ministry of Agriculture announced the second edition of the Lebanese Wine Day, held this year in Berlin on May 5, at a press conference in the Press Club in Beirut.
The event comes almost exactly a year after the first Lebanese Wine Day in Paris, which helped create new commercial opportunities for Lebanese Wine in Europe and the beyond, and is a reflection of the growing importance of the $50 million Lebanese wine industry, both in terms of the local economy and in enhancing Lebanon's image abroad. Lebanon exports over 33% of the more than 8 million bottles it produces each year.
