Prowein 2014 Masterclass Timetable
All masterclasses will be held on our stand Hall02/E12
Wines of Lebanon at Prowein 2014
Hall 2, Stand E12
Lebanese wine
producers will once again be exhibiting at Prowein this year, under a generic
banner of Wines of Lebanon, organised by the Union Vinicole du Liban (UVL).
Sixteen different
producers will be showing wines from all the wine-producing areas of Lebanon:
the Bekaa Valley, the historic heartland of wine production in Lebanon, as well
as newer wine regions such as Batroun in the north, the Metn and the Chouf in
Mount Lebanon and Jezzine in the South.
Lebanon is one of
the oldest regions of wine production - its vine and wine culture stretches
back to 7000BC – but the sector today is very much a modern industry with nearly
40 wineries producing around 9 million bottles annually, using over 25
different international and local grape varieties in just over 2,000 hectares.
Masterclasses at the Fair
A series of
masterclasses will run throughout the Fair on the stand allowing visitors to
gain a greater understanding of the history of Lebanese wine and the progress
the industry has made to date.
The classes will
be hosted by German wine presenter Caro Maurer MW, British wine writer Tim
Atkin MW, and Lebanese wine writer Michael Karam, author of Wines of Lebanon and Michael Karam’s Lebanese Wines.
To view the timetable and reserve a space please visit our booking site.
Zafer Chaoui,
President of the UVL said: “We are delighted to be attending Prowein once
again, with a bigger and better stand for 2014.
Last year we received a fantastic reception for our wines, so this year
we are back with more producers to spread the word about Lebanese wine.”
Michael Karam
commented: “Lebanese wines have gone from strength to strength over the last
decade. The country has built on its
long history of wine-making, and through experimentation with different terroirs
and varieties, producers today are making some exciting and high quality wines
that reflect Lebanon’s unique character.”
