EuroNews : Israel pounds Lebanon's Bekaa Valley

The Two Sides Of The Bekaa Valley

My column on Sunday in the Sunday Business Post will try and see the unasked for violence on both sides of the border by winemakers and vineyard owners who are caught up in the fighting.

I had hoped that Bekaa would remain untargeted by alas the Israeli targeting is now striking into the ancient heart of the Lebanese wine business. We are only a few weeks away from the harvest there (remember it is hotter than Bordeaux, Tuscany et al !!) so this must be now seen as an attack on that infrastructure too.
