Wines of Romania invites you to a special episode where we discuss the wine market and Romanian wines with one of the top contemporary experts - Robert Joseph.
What did we discuss?
• Romania is ahead of Moldova but behind Slovenia and Georgia in establishing itself as a premium wine producer, with Croatia coming up strong.
• Moldova started from a lower material base, with fewer financial resources, but focused very well on the wine industry.
• Is Haagen Dasz pea sorbet good in China, but could I sell it in Romania?
• Everyone told the Turks to focus on their grapes, which are impossible to pronounce, but the airports in Istanbul and Ankara are full of Syrah, Sauvignon, and Chardonnay.
Wineries, even the largest ones, should consider collaborating with other wineries from different regions or countries.
