Taybeh’s winemaking philosophy: create top quality wines of distinction

Breaking News: Taybeh wine and beer available in Canada for the first time

Nadim Wine by Taybeh and Taybeh beer available NOW in Canada through LCBO

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 6, 2020. Toronto, Ontario and Taybeh, Palestine

“We are excited to announce that Taybeh beer and wine is now available in Canada for the first time,” said Madees Khoury, Chief Operation Manager of Taybeh Brewery and the only female brewer in Palestine.

“LCBO is one of the world’s largest buyers and retailers of beverage alcohol and recognized as having best in its class practices, and so Taybeh is very pleased to have its product featured by the LCBO.”

“People have been asking for many years when this amazing quality and distinct product would be available in Canada. Thus, it is very exciting that a full suite of Taybeh wine and beer was released by the LCBO on January 31, 2020 and is now available through the LCBO Specialty Services under its World Destination Program,” said Karen Rodman of Palestine Just Trade.

The Taybeh premium high-quality hand-crafted beer line available through the LCBO includes five styles–Dark, Amber, Golden, IPA and White. Taybeh Beer is uniquely produced in small batches and hand- crafted with state-of-the-art equipment and has been exported by Taybeh for over 12 years, including to Japan, Europe and more recently, to the USA.

Nadim Wines by Taybeh involve a winemaking technique that combines both traditional winemaking methods passed by numerous generations in Palestine and modern scientific methods. After sorting the grapes in the vineyards, they’re checked manually, cluster by cluster, on a selection table in order to ensure only the highest quality grapes are used in the wines. The wine is fermented in state-of-the-art stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Afterwards, the wine is aged in oak barrels for a period ranging between 8 and 24 months.

The LCBO is offering five distinct quality varieties of these boutique wines. The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Merlot, the 2017 Syrah, the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc, and 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve

Taybeh Brewing Company is a family-owned business established in 1994 following the Oslo Peace Agreement when David Khoury and Nadim Khoury were inspired by their late father, Canaan David Khoury, to return to their home village of Taybeh from the United States and establish the first micro brewery in the Middle East.

Following the success of the Khoury family in opening the only brewery in Palestine, Canaan Khoury was inspired to return to Palestine after finishing his studies in the United States to open the only boutique winery in Palestine. In 2013, Taybeh Winery was founded for one simple reason – to bring truly exceptional wine to the Palestinian market and abroad. Nadim Khoury, founder of Taybeh, says “we are able to achieve this by partnering with the finest growers in Palestine in order to deliver high quality wines and the highest degree of service to our customers.”

“We look forward to continued imports to Canada including with the LCBO and to other provinces through other provincial agencies,” said Madees Khoury.

The agent for Taybeh wine and beer in Canada is Palestine Just Trade an organization focused on sharing the quality and distinct products of Palestine in Canada.

To order Taybeh wine and beer visit www.lcbo.com and search for Taybeh for the beer and Nadim for the wine.

Orders can only be made via online ordering at this time, but will be shipped to your local LCBO store.

We are still waiting for the Release of Taybeh Wine and Beer from the LCBO

Perhaps you would like to ask the LCBO and CFIA why!

Purchased by LCBO, these quality beers and wines from Taybeh arrived in Canada mid-July 2019.

Taybeh Beer (Amber, Dark, Golden, IPA and White)

Nadim Wine by Taybeh (2016 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2015 Merlot, 2017 Syrah, 2018 Sauvignon Blac, and Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 Grand Reserve)

Labels had been pre-approved by the LCBO. The product was made ready through the usual LCBO testing and administrative procedure; and on August 2, 2019 was ready to be released under the LCBO World Destination Program and to those who had made private orders.

Then on August 6, 2019, after the court ruling that wine from Israeli settlements could NOT be labeled as “product of Israel,” the LCBO contacted Palestine Just Trade, the exclusive agent for Taybeh in Canada to indicate the order of Taybeh wine and beer were being put on hold “due to the court ruling.”

Dimitri Lascaris who is acting as legal counsel for Palestine Just Trade wrote about this in a blog, “Canadian Food Inspection Agency Coddles the Oppressors, Victimizes the Oppressed.” Read the full details HERE.

Taybeh is based in Ramallah in the West Bank, which is formally under the control of the Palestinian Authority. None of Taybeh’s products are produced in Israel’s illegal settlements. The court case, which subsequently has been appealed by the Canadian government, has nothing to do with products from Palestine. It is specific to wines from Israeli settlements considered illegal under international law and according to Canadian policy.

Over the last several months, a number of people have contacted the LCBO and CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency), however as far as we have heard, responses have not been received from either agency based on what people have indicated.

At this point, the Taybeh products continues to held by the LCBO, while Palestine Just Trade Inc. waits to hear if the product will be released.

Taybeh Beer and Wine coming to Canada

Taybeh is HERE, but on HOLD by LCBO as Directed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)

Taybeh is HERE, but on HOLD by LCBO as Directed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)

The World Destination Program of the LCBO arranged to include five Nadim wines by Taybeh, and five varieties of Taybeh beer earlier this year. The product arrived in Canada, and was ready for release in early August when notification came that the product was being put on hold.

Earlier this month, just as shipments were ready to go to local LCBO stores for private order pick up, as well as to be put onto the e-commerce channel for offering through the LCBO World Destination Program, the LCBO informed Palestine Just Trade that “due to the recent decision by the Federal Court regarding labeling requirements for wines from this region, we have placed these products on hold.”

Today, August 28, 2019, Dimitri Lascaris, legal counsel for Palestine Just Trade sent a letter to the President of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and copied the LCBO on it. You can read the letter HERE. An accompanying list of alcohol products listed for sale in Canada with the label “product of Israel” that are known to be from Israeli settlements considered illegal by international law can be seen HERE.

In our letter today we indicated to the CFIA with copy to the LCBO that “we are at a loss to understand how the CFIA can continue to allow the sale of wines from territory occupied by Israel to be sold in Canada with false Product of Israel labels even as the LCBO prevents the sale of Taybeh products which are accurately labelled.” We indicated that “the manner in which the CFIA and LCBO are dealing with accurately labelled Taybeh products, and falsely labelled products from Israeli settlements in occupied territory is plainly discriminatory.”

Palestine Just Trade is excited to have joined with Taybeh to have made the first import of product to Canada, and look forward to Nadim wines by Taybeh and Taybeh beers being available for purchase for the first time in Canada very shortly.

The goal was to invest and boost the local economy by introducing new styles of natural hand crafted micro-brewed beers according to the German Purity Law with no preservatives or additives making an excellent Palestinian beer.
