The seven largest Israeli wineries – Carmel, Golan Heights, Teperberg 1870, Recanati, Galil Mountain, Tavor and Yatir – exhibited at an Israeli booth at the leading wine expo in Europe – the ProWein 2015 International Trade Fair.
The International Trade fair, one of the extensive event on Wines, Spirits, Products and Food practices, took place in Messe Duesseldorf, Dusseldorf, Germany. The wineries showcased more than 100 types of their finest wines at the expo.
Production by these seven wineries together makes up more than 60% of Israel’s wine output. This is the first time they independently decided to team up to represent Israel in what is considered the world’s most important wine expo. The Israeli wine market is growing on annual basis and its revenue totals US$220 million per year.
Today there are 250 active wineries in Israel, fifty which of are large-scale and the rest boutique wineries. The scale of production reaches 40 million bottles (including grape juice). According to the Israel Export Institute, some 20% of Israeli wine production is exported for consumption around the world.
