berries in the vineyard. now it is already a great success, practically, all of it is collected and winemakers. they say that this year there will be a good harvest plus 10% compared to last year, most likely at least 700,000 tons of grapes will be harvested. this is a greek stick for stirring fermenting wine, and during fermentation it is very important to stir the wine so that the yeast mass is evenly distributed so that excess excessive temperature does not form in some middle sections of the wine and it is very important that the wine breathe konstantin tituev stirs fermenting, wine, at least. twice a day. now is the busiest time for wineries, the processing of the crop depends on how this stage goes, the quality of the future drink will go on sale this

saperavi will go on sale only after 2-3 years it is very important to age the wines, especially red ones and serve them after some time, so that everything wealth palette. she was here, perhaps in tasting to understanding. konstantin titov , the only enterprise of this profile in north ossetia, produces 35 thousand bottles per year piece bottles are painted by hand instead of labels with the picturesque landscapes of alanya and portraits of ossetian beauties, most of the berries. konstantin buys in other regions, but there is a vineyard and we have been making wine near vladikavkaz for several years, and from the vineyard that we planted ourselves, we planted it in 2017, this vineyard shows very good results for a long time there were no vineyards in north ossetia. and this is the first vineyard that exists on this territory with the quality of grapes, from all

plots constantine this year. satisfied believes that the season was a success this year the season. i think white wines are almost almost perfect. very good white grapes were good quality red now still idiot also i think very good quality. the main thing is not to rush to pluck it from the vine so that the seed is ripe, and then we will get good rich, long, living veins, according to the chief winemaker of the largest russian enterprise in the kuban wine industry. depatnar, thanks to the good weather, berry, turned out to be of high quality, all grape varieties felt very good all summer, because the climatic conditions, as never before , uh, contributed precisely to the planned. yes , there was no particular heat for the sugar set, there were no heavy rains, if they were these rains, they were in their time, and uh, just when it was

necessary for the future. uh, i've been harvesting this agreement with the head of the union of sommeliers and experts of russia, artur sarkisyan, for 10 years now every summer. he travels around the russian winemaker evaluates the vines beverages and production facilities. it will be very cool. well, you can see 22 years old, but this is already noticeable in the tastings that we did there, let's say. the thirteenth year of the nineteenth was so-so the twentieth year was a good twenty-first so-so . here is the twenty-second more or less. we hope that he will still be very cool every such trip. arthur ends with a visit to vladikavkaz and a winery. konstantin tsvetoev. he believes that the north caucasus as a whole has great potential in this industry, viticulture a winery is developing, and wine needs to be made, then, of course, vineyards will be planted, especially when the government supports viticulture and also gives certain subsidies to compensate for the costs, then i think about this issue,

and we will have more vineyards. we don't have enough of them yet. and now we have about 90,000 hectares, but i think that somewhere in order to achieve more, 200,000 hectares are needed. then it would be optimal to consider that north ossetia has a great chance of becoming a wine-producing region. region also because the climate here is getting milder every year. 12 years ago, e.g. here in our zone in winter. uh, there was a peak temperature of -31, which means the death of all cultural. uh, vaccinated. uh, grape vine, the last 5-7 years. the temperature does not drop below minus 15, that is, the climate has changed a lot, and it continues to change right before my eyes. and if we talk about today, for the last five years there, families, then this is a very good climate. i call him. here's what's in bordeaux was 10-15-20 years ago climate. here he is now exactly the same leader here, the quality has grown.

maxim protasov says that over the past few years, every season, new wineries have appeared in those russian regions where no one could have thought about it before. in the voronezh region, the first vineyards appear. i'm sure the number of energy regions. the so-called including the north or the country will also develop. these are quite unique uh, types of grapes are quite a unique way of producing it is very cool that uh the number of wines and number of terrors. in our country e will increase, and also we must tell you, of course, the growth in popularity. e autoktonov, we objectively see this, including from consumers who send requests to e, the russian quality website submits some questions to our social networks from ruza near moscow, the first

organic diversified farm in russia 4.5 thousand hectares of own land for the production of dairy meat products of some cheeses, only 40 types are certified by organic technologies. recently, they began to produce grapes for him, brought from the crimea from his own organic vineyard, the grapes are the same. there is also a sock both on and on wine. we carefully sort it before sending it, e.g. from production. and in general, very high quality grapes. we have several vineyards for the production of food products in the crimea. one of the sites this year received an organic certificate from the russian quality. that is, now officially recognized as organic, they harvested a decent crop. well, we didn't expect such. um, in general, if we talk about hmm cafe,

i want an organ, last year they harvested 24 tons of grapes. this year, about sixty tons of wine grapes for their own purposes. we plan to produce about 20,000 bottles. here's the organic way. it'll be like 1,000 bottles, and this site will be officially organic. in the coming months, documents are being prepared to tell the chief agronomist of the shady peasant farm alexander shevchenko . uh, you need to keep an eye on it. e for diseases to if today we see, uh, the first signs of disease. we must make a defense on the same day. this is the second enterprise that received such a certificate in sevastopol. several more farms operate according to organic

methods and are going to apply to the russian quality in the near future, the head of the information and analytical center for wine retail alexander startsev explains why crimea is a promising territory for the development of organic viticulture not in all regions , probably, uh, viticulture in russia is such a realizable working story, but that’s why we now , uh, see that the sevastopol region is developing quite actively because the climate in crimea is traditionally drier than in the kuban and it’s easier to fight fungal diseases there, which the main enemy of grapes there, including new applications for organic certification of vineyards , have also been submitted from farms in the kuban and stavropol territory and the don valley, while 117 hectares are certified according to forecasts of russian quality in 2026 will be 900 g. get certified to produce honest organic wine. as it is very difficult. it

may even be easier for those who are first starting to work only for wages, for those who are uprooting and changing species to organic production, a three-year conversion period is required from once simple to conventional industrial production. go organic. maxim protasov believes that there is an audience in russia. those who are interested in organic wine to the standards that are approved the technical committee under the leadership of the russian , as well as in the international organic standards, reduced the amount of sulfur dioxide, and even whole. uh, a whole host of additional ingredients. e in the production are limited in this sense, the taste changes somewhat due to the peculiarities of growing grapes by organic methods, the risks and costs are greater. therefore, the final product is more expensive, says winemaker victoria selivanova organic wine. they don't make it. e create conditions for its production. uh,

organically produced. at basically, no non- stabilizing preservatives are used. wine lives its own life, according to alexander stavtsev, the appearance of organic wines speaks of a new stage in the development of the russian wine market. have. well, i mean, it must be it's not like that anymore. not some kind of marketing. the story is just to say so, it's already a topic, how's the husk? for example, some, right? and here, uh, hmm, this is a market that is just emerging. all these containers are filled to the brim with wine. there are now three and a half million liters of noble drink. he ferments, then it will be bottled after the new year. the result is five million

bottles. this is the wine of the southernmost vinogradov region of russia, dagestan, the chief winemaker of the derben wine-making company. shamil aliyev explains why this place is ideal for growing vines, the region is absolutely, which allows you to grow this crop. get out in near-perfect conditions. this is the proximity of the sea, the breeze, the number of sunny days of mild winters and warm autumns. that is, it's all in the complex allows us to do. uh, the raw material base is very uh, available in the right way thanks to the good weather. it plans to increase the grape harvest this year by 10% and release even more sparkling wines, which the company specializes in every year. we increase our capabilities and increase the raw material base, we collect more grapes. we are planning for you this year. now to

get literally. there are still a few days left to get on the red. uh, it will be 12,500 tons of southern dagestan and taman peninsula grapes in these regions collects the most grapes in russia, we have at least passed the milestone in planned indicators. we have already collected. we set ourselves the task of eighty thousand tons of grapes, 95. that is, we still have about 10-12,000 tons of red grapes in the fields, which have reached and are reaching their technological maturity. the number of vineyards is growing in russia. every year , 4-7% is added to their areas. the general director of the derbent wine-making company, emil omarov, is also making plans to increase the land occupied by vines, at present we have 1,100 hectares of vineyards, of which about 700 hectares are fruit-bearing. in the future, we have an annual laying of 250 hectares, both in the foothill zone of

dagestan and on the plain, we want to bring it. uh, the volume of vineyards is about 2,500 hectares, in order to quickly develop new territories for vines, large enterprises establish their own nurseries. currently. we purchase serbian seedlings from a supplier, but we have already come to the understanding that we need, of course, create your own nursery. we have now made a trial experimental version. uh, they landed a school in their mountains. dagestan looked very good survival rate. uh, the nursery justifies itself, most likely, we will, uh, continue to develop this topic. i think coming run within a year. we will create our own nursery, thanks to a good harvest of wine prices. now stable in finance you have proposed to raise the minimum retail price for sparkling from next year to 239 rubles. for a bottle, that is, almost one and a half times alexander stavtsev, however, is sure that there will be no sharp rise in prices. the ministry of finance relied on

his calculations. uh, uh, understanding there cost in the biennium. yes, that is, the minimum retail valuable worms have apparently not been indexed, but since 2021. that is, in the twenty-first year. they are no longer invested. that's why, well, you can roughly guess. yes , somewhere and inflation, and the fault will persist there. well, at least at the annual level there is ten, there is 12%. low, selling prices for products can be afforded by companies that grow their own grapes. and at the same time they have large areas and processing capacities. i believe that we have, uh, wine, it is absolutely affordable for the russian consumer, the average price price on the shelf and it is 400 rubles. this is an absolutely honest product, the larger the volume, the lower the cost, so we are increasing the volume. er, if last year we sold about 2 million bottles, then this year the goal was to sell 5 million bottles, respectively, more than twice.

we increase sales in 2 years quantity names of russian wines in supermarkets doubled in russian quality. it is becoming more and more popular, according to konstantin dzitoev, parties with his winery are completely sold out in a few months and they are asking for new deliveries. even when the wine is still unripe, he is in no hurry. everyone remembers the saying that wine gets better with time.
