In 1883, M. Chaikin &amp; Co. was founded in the United Kingdom. It imported wine produced in Petah Tikva bearing the name "Bozwin" (Beauty of Zion Wine). In 1898, another London company, the Palestine Wine Trading Co., was established. A "wine-war" erupted between the two British companies, both claiming the exclusive importation of kosher Palestinian wine. Today, Palwin, an abbreviation for "Palestine wine" and produced by Carmel Winery, is Israel's oldest brand, producing 100,000 bottles every year. Palestinian wine received the gold medal at the Paris Exposition of 1900.
