We are excited about this great news for the entire country and the wine industry.
This achievement comes to fortify the continuous work and passion with which we dedicated ourselves to the promotion of Moldovan Wine in the European Union
In recent years, wine exports to the EU have grown impressively, reaching over 70%. This upward trend is not only a symbol of the quality of our wines, but also a clear sign of our dedication to European integration.
We are proud that wine is also the country’s ambassador and that through the work of our winemakers, we contribute to increasing the international recognition of our country. We continue to be dedicated to promoting quality, innovation and sustainability in everything we do.
Thank you to all our partners, customers and wine lovers who have supported us on this extraordinary journey. Together, we are writing a new bright chapter in the history of Moldovan wine!
Last week, around 90 representatives of wineries in the country participated in an online seminar dedicated to the new European legislation regarding the labeling of wine products. The seminar was given by Dr. Ignacio Sanchez Recarte, general secretary of CEEV (European Committee of Wine Companies).
The seminar discussed important topics related to the new European legislation, which will gradually enter into force, giving manufacturers a 2-year transition period for implementation. Manufacturers were advised to start preparing the new labels as early as this year and use QR code technology to redirect consumers to a web page independent of the manufacturer’s website.
The participation of winemakers from Moldova in the seminar was possible thanks to the support of ONVV, in order to place our wines as organically as possible on the European market, according to the highest quality standards.
On November 27, in Seoul, an exclusive tasting took place that brought together wines from eight Moldovan producers: Asconi, Bostavan, Carpe Diem, Chateau Cristi, Gitana, Milestii Mici, Purcari, Radacini.

We are incredibly proud that Moldavian Wine is becoming more and more noticed abroad. In a new Euronews material, the Explore column, journalist Anca Ulea discovered Moldova’s viticultural wealth and the uniqueness of its traditions.
Anca visited the legendary winery Combinatul de Vinuri “CRICOVA” S.A., the picturesque places of the Orheiul Vechi region and admired the beauty of the Moldovan vineyards in a completely new way, from the height of a hot air balloon. Of course, this dream trip could not end otherwise than with a traditional Moldovan dinner, paired with an authentic wine at the Chateau Vartely Winery.
Broadcasting these reports on the prestigious Euronews is a first for our country, and represents the joint efforts made by the National Vine and Wine Office (ONVV) in partnership with USAID Moldova in collaboration with Euronews to promote the Wine of Moldova country brand.
