CarmelWinery is a vineyard and winery in Israel. Founded in 1882 by Edmond James deRothschild, its products are exported to over 40 countries.Carmel Winerymanufactures mainly wine, brandy and grape juice. It is the prime producer ofwine in Israel, as it produces nearly half of the Israeli wine market, and oneof the largest wine producers in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is the first andoldest exporter of wine, brandy and grape juice in the country, and also thelargest producer of kosher wine in the world.The company is owned by thecouncil of the Vine-growers Union (75%) and the Jewish Agency for Israel (25%).Its parent company is Societe Cooperative Vigneronne des Grandes Caves RichonLe Zion & Zikhron Ya\'akov Ltd. (S.C.V.)The company holds the two largestwineries in Israel, as well as three new boutique wineries. These wineriesinclude Rishon LeZion Winery, Zikhron Ya\'akov Winery, Yatir Winery (50%) andRamat Dalton Winery. In addition, the company owns 1,500 hectares (3,750 acres)of vineyards in Israel.Carmel\'s production reaches 25-30 million bottles peryear and its profit from export adds up to USD 5 million from 40 countries.Whenthe settlers of the First Aliyah, Jews who immigrated to Palestine from EasternEurope in the second half of the 19th century, encountered difficulties incultivating the land due to their lack of experience and the soil\'s characteristics,they began to seek support outside of Palestine for establishing vineyards andwineries. Their representatives traveled to France, where they met Baron Edmondde Rothschild, owner of ChÃ¢teau Lafite. As a Zionist, Rothschild providedfinancial and moral assistance to the settlers. His first vineyards wereplanted near Rishon LeZion, south east of Jaffa. In 1882, French rootstock wasimported, and the Baron sent his own wine specialists to advise the pioneers inthis enterprise. Construction began on a large wine cellar in Rishon LeZion.Later, a second winery was established in Zikhron Ya\'akov, situated on MountCarmel just south of Haifa.In 1895 Carmel Wine Co. was formed to export winesof Rishon LeZion and Zikhron Ya\'akov, first in Poland, then in Austria, GreatBritain and the United States. In 1902 Carmel Mizrahi was founded in Palestineto market and distribute wines to the cities of the Ottoman Empire.In 1896, thefirst Carmel wines were presented at the International Exhibition of Berlin ata special pavilion devoted to the industries of the Jewish colony in Palestine.Over a hundred thousand people visited the exhibition, looked at the products,and drank a glass of Rishon LeZion wine. A year later, a world gardeningexhibition was held in Hamburg where the settlers\' wines were well received.Rishon LeZion wines won a gold medal at the Paris World\'s Fair in 1900.In 1906,both the vineyards and the management of the two wineries were deeded to thewinegrowers, forming the \"SocietÃ© Cooperative Vigneronne des GrandesCaves, Richon le Zion and Zikhron Jacob Ltd.\"Interestingly, many of Israel\'shistorical figures worked in the vineyards and in the wineries. Perhaps the twomost famous were the first Prime Minister of Israel, David Ben Gurion and hissuccessor, Levi Eshkol.Through the early decades of the 20th century the winebusiness bloomed. Branches of Carmel Wine Co., were opened in Damascus, Cairo, Beirut,Berlin, London, Warsaw and Alexandria, and sales increased, particularly duringthe First World War, when allied troops passed through Palestine. However, thebusinesses fell sharply when the war was over. The industry lost its principalmarkets in Russia due to the October Revolution, in the United States becauseof Prohibition, and in Egypt and the Middle East because of Arab nationalism.Many of the vineyards were uprooted and replanted with citrus trees.However,during the Second World War, the industry began to grow again and withsuccessive waves of immigrants, drinking habits gradually changed. In 1957, theestate of the Baron Edmond de-Rothschild deeded over the two wineries to theCooperative of Winegrowers, the SocietÃ© Cooperative Vigneronne des Grandes Caves,by then, better known under the trade name Carmel Mizrahi in Israel and Carmelworldwide.For some years after the end of the war, Carmel\'s output was focusedon sweet wines used for sacramental purposes. However, with the emergence ofthe new world in wine making, Israeli wine makers sought new varieties ofgrapes, thus in 1971 Cabarnet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, the first varietalwines from Israel, were presented in the United States market.In the early80\'s, the wine industry in Israel fell upon hard times, but in the second halfof the decade, wine became more popular and demands for quality stimulatedtremendous improvements in the varieties of grapes being grown, the cultivationof new growing regions and the updating of fermentation and productiontechniques.Over the past few years, new state of the art wineries have beenbuilt, the existing wineries have been renovated and a new team of young,highly qualified wine makers have been employed. The constant search forimprovement is now part of the fabric of the cooperative.In 2003 Carmel agreedto sponsor \'Carmel Trophy for Best Eastern Mediterranean Producer\' at I.W.S.C.in London. In 2004 Peter Stern (formerly at Mondavi & Gallo) fromCalifornia was appointed wine making consultant. The same year Carmel founded\'Handcrafted Wines of Israel\'.Exporting to over 40 countries, Carmel productsare found in wine stores and retail chains around the globe.Wineries Carmel\'s first winery and head office is RishonLeZion Winery, which is located in the city of Rishon LeZion.
