Though wine has been produced in Anatolia for millennia, the country\u2019s modern vineyards and wineries produce mostly French varieties imported in the past century. But Mr Ceviker works with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/europe\/2024\/09\/05\/the-obstacles-faced-by-turkeys-winemakers\">old vines that have survived for far longer<\/a>, many abandoned when the Greeks and Armenians, vintners of the Ottoman empire, were forced out. Many of the Muslim farmers who took over now sell their produce for dried fruit or pekmez, an unfermented grape syrup, rather than alcohol. Mr Ceviker has persuaded some to sell their grapes to him at higher prices and has bought several vineyards outright. He takes his crop to different micro-wineries using traditional methods. \u201cWith each vintage, we experiment,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling made clear that not only are Presidents immune from <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/murdockjdf\/status\/1831915718264463679?s=12\">prosecution<\/a> for many official acts, but such acts cannot be used as evidence at trial.
