Yavne, Oct 11 (EFE).- Israel Antiquities Authority on Monday unveiled a 1,500-year-old industrial estate winery discovered in the Israeli city of Yavne, a discovery that suggests Gaza’s white wine was in high demand during the Byzantine period.

“Mainly (they exported) to Turkey, which was Byzantine, of course to Rome, Europe, and even London,” Israeli archeologist, Hagit Torge, tells Efe.
