Syrian wine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Syrian wine is wine produced in Syria.

As of 2023, there is only one commercial vineyard in Syria, Domaine de Bargylus.[1]

Syria has an old wine culture. A grape press, dates back around 8,000 BC is the oldest preserved wine relic[citation needed], which was found near Damascus. During the Hellenistic and Roman periods notable wines were produced. Later on Christian Orthodox monks continued cultivating the wine.[2][3] Production continued during the rise of Islam.[4]
