Israel has quickly become a point of interest for American wine connoisseurs. Thanks to its rich history and ideal climate, the area is home to a unique host of grapes with enticing flavor palettes. The soils in which these grapes are grown, paired with the Mediterranean climate and extreme weather, have made winemaking in Israel a cultural staple for thousands of years. From ancient times when wine trading routes were established to today, with over 300 distinct wineries named in the region, Israel has grown to hold a coveted list of wines and spirits for the world to enjoy.
Despite the over 120 indigenous grape varieties in the region, many of Israel’s top-quality wines are never exported. This is because they are often sold before they can even reach the shelves. For decades, this has made it incredibly difficult for international buyers to get their hands on these purses. Fortunately, there are now new clubs and networks for enthusiasts to join that will grant them access to the finest spirits. Members of these clubs can enjoy at-home delivery of wines, beers, and liquors that were once thought to be completely exclusive to Israel. This one-of-a-kind service allows people across the world to enjoy the taste of the Middle East without the hassle and without the travel.
