Jordan is a country in the Middle East (or West Asia, as the UN officially calls it) bordered by Iraq and Iran to the east, Syria to the North and Israel to the west. The country takes its name from the Jordan River, which has been a vital source of water in this desert region since biblical times. Jordan's location in the cradle of civilization makes it an obvious candidate for a Long history of viticulture and winemaking. After all, neighboring Israel and Syria both have a history of viticulture that goes back thousands of years.
