Arak
Arak, or «sweat» in Arabic, is Lebanon’s anis-flavored liqueur and national drink. Made from the early wine process and stored in clay amphoras for several months, Arak is a palate cleanser by nature and less sweet than comparable European spirits such as Ouzo or Sambuca. Arak complements the many flavors of Lebanese cuisine and traditional mezza.

LEBANESE WINE MAKING
The production of Lebanese wine predates even biblical times. It it said that the Phoenicians, Lebanon’s ancestral civilization, were the very first exporters of wine. Following Lebanon’s civil war, which ended in 1990, there were only 8 Lebanese wine makers.
Today, there are over 30 representing Lebanon’s winemaking industry with 600,000 cases in production per year. The Bekaa Valley, rich with fertile soil and abundance of farmland is home to many of Lebanon’s native vineyards producing Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet and Cinsault, among others. We are proud to represent some the best Lebanese wines on our list.
