Large 1,500-year-old winepress unearthed in area once known for wine production.
A large, well-preserved 1,500-year-old winery has been exposed during a violent storm in the Sharon Plain region, located between the Mediterranean Sea and Samarian Hills, the Antiquities Authority announced Monday.
According to IAA archeologist Alla Nagorski, the discovery was made off the Eyal Interchange several weeks ago when flooding and hail disrupted an excavation at the site, where natural gas lines are scheduled to be embedded.
The northern part of the Sharon Plain is considered the most historical wine region in Israel, and is where the first roots of Israeli wine were planted in modern times.
When water was pumped from the site, Nagorski said the well-preserved winery was found. She described it as impressive and rare.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think I remember that the wine from Palestine was highly prized by the Romans during their occupation because of its potency.

That sounds right. Meanwhile, Palestine still produces whines.

“All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”
