This is CBS I in the world with my colleague, that is Makatter and we welcome the Dusty one,

Indiana online, the Shapo bag of tricks to bull whip goes down and the out, out comes

That is Indiana, you have news of an ancient winery in Yavni Israel.

What can you tell us?

And there they found this massive 1500 year old well designed industrial estate,

which had a large complex of buildings developed all related to the warehousing and exporting

the wine that was grown there and they were put into foreign known as Gaza jars because they

were exported through Gaza and through Ascolon.

And it was a high quality brand that was had a very far and wide reputation,

very great in those days. Two million leaders a year, Indiana, five wine presses.
