The most prestigious competition for wines and spirits drinks starts

Anita Valentinova, 02.03.2008

Today starts the most prestigious Bulgarian competition for wines and spirits at The International Fair in Plovdiv and will continue until 10th of March. It is prior to The International exhibition for wine-growing and wine-trade, which will be held from 26th to 29th of March, where winners will be announced during the traditional ball “Wine and love, love and wine”. Press conference of The National wine trade chamber, which is the sponsor of the competition, made it clear that 49 companies submit 838 probes for National samples for wines, spirits and wine-brandy. It is the first time France took part in the competition with wines at “Wine 2008”. Samples are 86 more than the last year’s competition. Seven companies make their first appearance. “Black sea Gold”-Pomorie, “Katardjina estate”-Svilengrad and LVK-wine trade”-Targovishte will represent quite an amount of wines. Criteria are as high and strict as requirements of an examining committee in most international competitions. They give an impartial assessment for qualities of all drinks in the competition. There are 270 registered wine-producers in Bulgaria, who annually put on the market about 200 million liters. It is calculated that round about 30% are for Bulgarian customers and the rest is for export. More than 2/3 of the export is for Russia, where Bulgarian wines have 25% of the market. What is the near future of Bulgarian wines? Main priorities will be renewing wine-growing, modernizing wine-cellars and promoting Bulgarian wines abroad. Most of strategies are in a process of planning until the end of March. It has already been made a movie, representing the history and traditions of Bulgarian wine.
