I have no idea what the prices are since I heard that they are very expensive to buy wine there. Can somebody give me price ranges please? And what are the best wine stores (I live in Hamra)

Well we have loads of wine stores here in Lebanon. You have Château Ksara, Château Kefraya, Château Musar, Massaya, Domaine Wardy, Cave Kouroum, Domaine des Tourelles , Heritage, Château Fakra , Clos de Qana , Vin Nakad , Karam Winery , Château Belle-Vue , Nabise Mont Liban and much more.
I don't remember the prices though. It depends on the wine (type and year). You'll find ALL price ranges.

LEBANON is one of the oldest sites of wine production in the world. Phoenician traders exported their wines to and cultivated their vines in the far corners of their colonies. They introduced the world to viticulture and wine appreciation. The majority of vines are grown in Baalbek. French influence on the Lebanese wine industry is apparent in the grape varieties most commonly planted: Cinsaut, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Mourvedre, Grenache and Syrah.

Lebanon is also known for its great winetasting services!!
If you enjoy winetasting , then you are in one of the greatest cities for that :)
