The decision of the EU, by which the community market will be completely opened for the Moldovan wines, will help the national wine producers to realize their creative potential so that the Moldovan wines are well known abroad, Prime Minister Iurie Leanca said in the fifth Wine Vernissage, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué from the Government’s press service.

In the event, ex-Premier Vlad Filat and U.S. Ambassador William Moser were conferred the honorific title “Knight of the Wine Vernissage”. The fifth Wine Vernissage involved 27 Moldovan wine companies that proposed over 200 types of wine for tasting.

The event was organized by the Association of Wine Producers and Exporters, with the support of the USAID CEED II Project and the Program “Filiere du Vin”.

The EU market will be opened for the Moldovan wines on January 1, 2014.
