are continuing to sell well.
Showing no false modesty, Mr.
Yerovoam divided the history of
Israel wine making into three pe-
riods: the ancient period, begin-
ning with the biblical era and
extending through Moslem rule;
the "first revolution," marked by
the replanting of vineyards in
1887; and the "second revolution,"
the establishment of the Ramat
Hagolan Winery in 1983.
In that year, Mr. Yerovoam
pointed out, the overwhelming
majority of grapes growing in Is-
rael were either table grapes or
those of the Alicante variety,
which are used for the most un-
sophisticated wines.
The only two upgrade varieties
being grown were Cabernet and
Sauvignon, and even these were
only a tiny percentage of the har-
vest.
Today, he said, there were
more wineries, more competition,
and more types of grapes, such as
Merlot, Pinot Noir and Chardon-
nay. Israeli wineries have learned
from experts from California,
France and — more recently —
the former Soviet Union.
The so-called "New
World Wines" are
coming to the fore.
All the wineries are selling a
better product, with improved
quality, variety and packaging.
At the same time, Mr. Yerovoam
said, wine prices in Israel are go-
ing down and will, he predicted,
continue to decline.
"I don't think we'll be losing
money, but we'll have to become
more efficient," he said.
Mr. Cohen reported that Is-
raelis can expect even more vari-
eties of wines in the future.
Grapes such as true Riesling (as
distinct from the Emerald Ries-
ling common in Israel today),
Nebiolo (from which the famed
Italian Barolo wines are made),
and Zinfandel were all thought to
be too delicate for Israel's hot sun.
Today, Mr. Cohen said, as a re-
sult of genetic cloning, it is possi-
ble to find strains of these
varieties which can grow in spe-
cific micro-climates in Israel.
Mr. Cohen predicted that in the
coming years, the wine industry
will be paying more and more at-
tention to the health benefits de-
rived from wine drinking.
He cited statistics which
showed that nations that drank
more wine showed lower inci-
dence of death due to coronary
heart disease, a phenomenon
which has been attributed to the
antioxidizing elements present in
wine, especially red wine.
"In the future, we will be
putting 'rich in natural antioxi-
dants' on the wine labels," Mr. Co-
hen said. El
