5. SOUNDBITE: (Amharic) Fitsum Birhan, General Manager of Zeway Farm:
Ethiopia's climatic conditions, the soil, the weather - they're all very favourable for growing grape vines. The country's just ideal because here we can harvest the grapes twice a year - that means two crops from one plot.
6. Various Awash Winery, exterior and interior

8. SOUNDBITE: (Amharic) Zerihun Bedasso, Production and Technical Manager, Awash Wine Share Company:
The Ethiopian wine industry has been growing over the last seven years at a rate of 5-7% per annum - due to demand both locally and abroad. The quality of the grapes and their distinctiveness contributes to this growth and that's why the industry has to expand.
9. Various Tadesse Haile, Ethiopian State Minister for Trade and Industry
10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Tadesse Haile, Ethiopian State Minister for Trade and Industry:
We have the potential for the production of grapes in the country and based on that BGI, or Castel group, (is now) has shown its interest and we're extremely happy and we have gone out of our way to support this investment.

LEAD IN:
A glass of wine is probably one of the last things most of us would associate with Ethiopia.
But there's enormous potential in this poor African nation to produce wine where, uniquely, farmers can harvest vines twice a year.
Until now would-be wine producers in Ethiopia have been held back due to lack of knowledge.
But that could be about to change with the news that one of the world's largest wine producers is taking over one of the country's state-run grape farms.
STORYLINE:
It's perhaps surprising to learn that Ethiopia's wine industry reportedly dates back to the mid 16th century when Portuguese and Italian missionaries arrived in the country and used grapes for the ceremony of Holy Communion at church.
There's been little progression in wine-making since then and Ethiopia's wine-trade pales in comparison to other countries on the continent - like South Africa.
That's despite Ethiopia having a near-perfect climate for grape-growing - plenty of sunshine and rain.
But the nation's wine industry is about to get a much needed boost. Castel, France's largest wine producer, and the third biggest producer and trader in the world, is about to develop its own wine business in Ethiopia.
Castel subsidiary 'BGI' already brews three types of beer in Ethiopia ('Castel', 'St George' and 'Bati') and following talks with the Ethiopian Prime Minister last year the company has decided to make a move into the wine industry.
After almost a year of negotiations, the Ethiopian government has given Castel 500 hectares of rent-free land south of the capital Addis Ababa. The company plans to plant French vines this year and in three years time will produce its first bottle.
According to Castel, the success of the beer industry in the country led to the company's plans to invest in the wine industry there too.
Castel will take over this state owned farm in the town of Zeway, 170 kilometres from the capital.
The farm, one of just two state-owned, was established in 1980 and produces 250 tonnes of grapes per year.
The farm's not entirely sure which variety of grapes it grows right now, but agronomists have reportedly likened some to 'Grenache Noir'.

Dedebit are 2005 Champions of Ethiopia!
ZekuEtyopia
Dedebit football club are indeed champions of Ethiopia 2005 (2012-13 GC) and finished their season off in style with a 2-1 victory over Harar Beer. Ghananian signing Djibril and league second highest goalscorer Dawit Fekadu were on target for the Blues as Dedebit signed off their title campaign on a winning note. Captain Getaneh Kebede collected both the golden boot and golden ball awards as his displays this year for both Dedebit and the Ethiopian national team have earned him praise from pundits across the African continent. He has now left Dedebit after signing for South African side Bidvest Wits. His 22 goals this season are a big reason why the Blues sit on top of the table. Head coach Nigussie Desta who took hold of the reigns following the midseason resignation of Abraham Teklehaimanot, has been named Coach of the year by the Ethiopian football federation. In the 16th season since the club's founding, and the 4th since their promotion to the Ethiopian premier league, Dedebit have at last won the title. They have come nailbitingly close in recent seasons. 2003, the year Ethiopian Coffee won it, Dedebit finished 3rd. Last season in 2004, Dedebit improved to second behind eventual champions Saint George. This season they did one better.
Dedebit are the 5th club to win the league in its new format after Saint George, Ethiopian Coffee, Awassa and Mebrat Haile (EEPCO). As champions, they have earned direct qualification to the 2013-14 African Champions League. It's a new chapter in Ethiopian football. The rise of Dedebit FC has also coincided with the rise of Ethiopian football as a whole, with the national team also shooting to prominence from what was always a mediocre setup. Here's to the new champions of Ethiopia, and a new era in our football!

Foreign Brewers Battle for Ethiopia's Beer Drinkers
International brewers are helping transform Ethiopia's business landscape as it slowly sells the assets of the former communist state and opens up to foreigners drawn to one of Africa's fastest growing economies. Heineken, Diageo and privately-owned Dutch brewer Bavaria, have snapped up state breweries or built new ones in the past four years, introducing new beverages and increasing competition for St George, Ethiopia's oldest beer brand, that was itself bought by France's Castel Group in 1998. The east African nation that once could not feed itself now draws investors keen to profit from the increasing prosperity of its 96 million people.
