Seventeen thousand cases of Palestine wines sent to America before prohibition and guarded by the United States government in special warehouses, have been released for sale, Dr. Issachar Haleir Levin, secretary of the Eretz Israel Wine Corporation, announced yesterday.
The wines, a product of S. Friedman & Sons of Petach-Tikvah, Palestine, were at the point of confiscation by American government officials, but the intervention of Chief Rabbi A. I. Hacohen Kook of Palestine saved the shipment.
