wine from the occupation

Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967, at the same time as it occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip.Today the Golan Heights remain illegally occupied territory, with 33 Israeli settlements housing over 20,000 settlers. Golan wine accounts for over a third of all Israel’s wine exports, with Tesco, Waitrose and Selfridges openly selling Yarden wine from the Golan Heights Winery, marketed as ‘Wine of Israel’.
