Remnants of ancient wine cisterns and utensils can be found scattered throughout the country. The modern wine industry was re-established over one hundred years ago. In 1882, Baron Edmund de Rothschild introduced French vine strains to the settlers in Israel, as well as glass factory plants for the manufacture of wine.
