Massaya winery, which has played a major part in the renaissance of Lebanese wine, resigned from the Union Vinicole du Liban (UVL) last month. In a statement sent to UVL president Serge Hochar, Massaya co-owner Ramzi Ghosn said it was obvious that the interests of Massaya and UVL were irreconcilable and that the winery was going it alone. Hochar declined to comment, but it appears the resignation was prompted by the UVL
