Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologist Liat Nadav-Ziv presents the Byzantine-period Gazan jars found at the Tel Yavne site in central Israel on October 11, 2021, where a massive wine production facility was discovered, the largest such complex of winepresses known from the Byzantine Period. Israeli archaeologists on October 11 uncovered a 1,500-year-old industrial wine complex dating to the Byzantine-era, which produced some two million litres of the popular drink annually and was the world's "largest" such centre at the time. The facility in Yavne, a city south of Tel Aviv that was a Jewish settlement during biblical times and a key city after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, consists of five wine presses sprawling over a square kilometre.
