After San Francisco, the Lebanese wine producers travelled to Los Angeles to participate in the Lebanese Wine Day organized by the agriculture and foreign ministries and the Consulate of Lebanon in Los Angeles. The event held on Tuesday saw a wide attendance by Lebanese expats and representatives of US touristic institutions, in addition to a huge media representation from Lebanon and the US. On the occasion, the agriculture ministry’s general director, Louis Lahud, said the Lebanese wine has skied out from its motherland to many places around the globe, namely Paris, Berlin, New York City, Washington and San Francisco, and arrived today at Los Angeles. Lahud boasted the success achieved by his country’s delegation at both San Francisco and Los Angeles expos, pressing for an enforced presence of the product in the State of California, the capital of American wine. Lahud stated that the marketing of the Lebanese wine abroad would contribute to increasing production, raising the rate of export and expanding the vineyard plantations, which, in turn, help create new jobs and enhance the economic situation in rural areas.
