Dang, that's something to look out for. It took me a few weeks weeks to find Sven's prize winning Finnish Imperial Stout: Saw a bottle in Madrid, found one on sale in London a week later. (stunning). and the one that came second was damn fine too.

that said, I confess I ain't hopeful. things like this are like egyptian wine. we admire they made the effort, but ....

Mind you the best wine I ever tasted was made in Tehran. The grapes and conditions there are just fab. Illegal, of course, but some of the best of it came from a chateau that looked remarkably like the filtration and pump room of the typical diplomat's swimming pool.

I think you should try the Palestinian beer first - you never know.

I think a good home vintner will make the best wine, cos they want to drink it. I've had some fab wine from down in sandanski market, whilst the commercial stuff is pretty damn ugly drinking.

But I confess that the further one gets from traditional beer countries, the worse my expectations. Palestine rates somewhere near mexico or spain in my mind. If it isn't actually repellent that will be a plus.
