Eastern Europe is the last undiscovered gem of the wine world. Over
the last thirty years three countries, Bulgaria, Romania and
Moldova have been working hard to escape the legacy of communism.
For all three the regimes that took hold after the Second World War
affected their wine industries profoundly, with state farms
favouring mechanization and mass production over care and quality.
Recent decades have seen a huge switch in attitudes following
privatization, with more focus on quality and reconnecting people
with the land to rebuild these historic wine industries for today's
wine drinkers. Bulgarian wine's fall in sales in the West due to
the rising popularity of New World wines, Moldova's economic crisis
at the hands of a Russian ban on Moldovan wine and Romania's need
to counter imports from foreign producers as tastes in wine change
have forced wineries to rethink their approaches to viticulture and
winemaking. Instead of production lines of anonymous wines, makers
now focus on creating authentic regional wines using local and
international varieties and modern techniques. In The wines of
Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova, Eastern European wine expert
Caroline Gilby MW presents the wine stories of these three
connected but distinct countries as one who has witnessed the vast
changes as they happened. The cultures of the three countries,
their complex and troubled histories and their roads to recovery
are profiled here along with details of the geography, climate,
grapes grown and, most importantly, the producers working to revive
and reinvent their respective wine industries. For those who seek
something new beyond the traditional wines of Western Europe or who
find New World wines losing their thrill The wines of Bulgaria,
Romania and Moldova is an inspirational introduction to a wine
world waiting to be explored.
