  • A Palestinian farmer harvests grapes at a vineyard in the mostly Christian West Bank village of Taybeh on August 16, 2016.
Nearly 20 years ago, Nadim Khoury created the first Palestinian brewery. Now, with his son Canaan, he wants to add Palestine to the map of the world's wines. Vineyards cover about five percent of cultivated land in the West Bank and annually produce more than 50,000 tonnes of grapes, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture. But Palestinians, 98 percent of whom are Muslim, produce little to no wine, though the West Bank is far from devoid of the bottled stuff.
