Romania has been a wine producing country since Antiquity. There have been huge vine plantations on the slopes of the Carpathian Mountains for 2700 years, well before Greek colonisation of the Black Sea coast (7th Century B.C.). Wine was produced since the 7th Century B.C. Wine was very important during the Thracian era. During this time, wine growing became the main occupation in lower Carpathian regions.

During the 19th Century, Romanian wine became known internationally. During this period, Romania had strong links with France and when phylloxera hit Rumanian vines, the country sought help and advice from France to replenish its vines. French grapes such as Pinot noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc thus replaced indigenous grape varieties. Other varieties such as Italian Riesling were imported from Italy and Germany.

During the 20th Century, Romania established strong links with Germany and Austria. One of the results of this was the introduction of wine spritzers into Romania. Spritzers, especially those made with dry white wine, are still popular in Romania today.

After the Second World War, communism ruled over Romania. All vineyards were nationalised. A lack of investment led to progressive degradation of the vines. Quantity became the priority, and in the 1960’s, Romania became the fifth largest wine producer in Europe. This development was however to the detriment of quality. After the revolution of 1989 and the fall of communism the situation changed and the “cooperative” vineyards were returned to private owners. State owned cellars and production companies were also privatised. At present, 80% of vineyards are privately owned.

Serious efforts are currently being made to reinstate the volume and quality of wine production of pre-Communist years. Most producers are trying to make the taste of their wine more suitable for international consumers. Conscious of the great potential of indigenous grapes as a method of setting apart Romania on the world market, producers have started to turn their attention to traditional grapes.

Romania joined the European Union on January 1st 2007.

Wine regions

There are eight wine regions in Romania.

I. The Transylvanian plateau

This region is situated in the Carpathian Mountains, in the North-Northeast of Romania. The most aromatic, pleasant and lightest wines are produced here. The vines are usually cultivated on sun soaked hills, sheltered from the wind. The white wines are generally well balanced, dry, of good quality and with interesting characteristics. Different varieties of brandy are also produced, such as vinars, pălincă, horincă and răchie. They are made from fruit (prunes, apples, pears) and aged in wooden barrels, which gives them a golden colour and high concentration of alcohol.
The main vineyards in this region are Târnave and l'Alba Iulia – Aiud.

Târnave

Situtated in the centre of Romania, on the cold Transylvanian plateau, Târnave is under the influence of the two rivers that surround the region, the Târnave Mica and the Târnave Mare. This zone enjoys a cool microclimate due to its high altitude and the humidity provided by the rivers. It is characterised by heavy and persistant fog during autumn, which is beneficial for the vines, aiding the development of flavours and maintenance of acidity in the grapes. This allows fresh, fruity white wines with good acidity to be produced. Moreover, Târnave is also known as “the vineyard of flavours”. Wine made from Feteasca Alba, Ruländer, Sauvignon blanc, Muscat Ottonel, Pinot gris, Riesling italien and Traminer grapes is also produced in this zone. The Jidvei terroir, in the heart of Târnave has acquired a reputation for high quality dry wine, which always win first prize in competitions. However, very good medium-sweet wine, as well as aged Traminer rosé, is also produced.


Alba Iulia-Aiud

This is another well-known vineyard in the Translyania plateau. It is situated on the slopes of the Mures hills. The main grape varieties grown here are Feteasca alba, Feteasca regala, Italian Riesling, Pinot gris, Traminer and Muscat Ottonel. It seems that the Grasa grape variety also has its origins in this vineyard.

II. The Moldovian hills regions

This region, situated on the Ukraine and Moldova borders, is the largest Romanian wine region, comprising a third of all vineyards. This region has very diverse soils and climatic conditions, and is planted with a variety of grape varieties, white as well as red, and produces a number of different types of wine.
The main vineyards in this region are Cotnari, Dealurile-Moldovei and Odobesti/ Panciu/Nicoresti.


The Cotnari vineyard

This vineyard has existed for more than seven centuries. It reached its peak during the reign of Ştefan del Mare or Etienne the Great (1457-1504). During this period, Contari wines were sent to numerous parts of Europe, including Venice. In 1989, a Contari wine won first prize at ‘l’Exposition Universelle de Paris’.
Contari is the sole vineyard to consist of only indigenous grape varieties. The best Romanian syrupy wines are produced here from Grasa, Tamâioasa românească, Francusa and Feteasca Alba grapes, as well as Muscat Blanc. Contari is a dessert wine made from, when the climate renders it possible, botryised Grasa grapes, aged in oak barrels for several years. This light sweet white wine (13 to 15%) has a honey taste, contains at least 50 grams of residual sugars and ages very well.

Dealurile-Moldovei vineyard

Red wine is produced in the region of Iasi, to the north, and white wine is produced in the region of Husi, to the south.
The Bucium vineyard is situated on a hill near to the city of Iasi, the old capital city of Moldova. It enjoys a microclimate that facilitates the development of grey rot and late harvests, which happen at the end of November. The representative grape varieties of Bucium are Riesling, Fetească alba, Aligoté and Muscat Ottonel.
The Huşi vineyard, spread over four hills, was once a princely court and numerous Voivodes (governor of the province) had vines here. Two main grape varieties are planted in this vineyards, Busuioaca of Bohotin and the white Zghihara of Huşi, which is similar to Frâncusa.

Odobeşti, Panciu and Nicoresti vineyards

This zone has a great variety of grape varieties. In Odobesti, white wine is produced from Feteasca, Muscat Ottonel and Aligoté grapes. However, the vineyard is known for the wine produced from the local grape variety Galbena of Odobesti. It is a light and sweet white wine with weak flavours, but it is appreciated for its freshness and balance. It was the favourite wine of the Prince of Moldova Dimitrie Cantemir at the end of the 18th Century. The underground tunnels in Panciu, more than 2000m in length, were used for the production of Panciu sparkling wine, made using the Champagne method. This wine is made from Feteasca alba, Feteasca regala and Italian Riesling. Red wine made from Băbeasca niagra is also produced here. In Nocoresti, another princely vineyard, red wine is made from Babeasca, Feteasca neagra and Merlot.


III. The Muntenie and Oltenie hills

This wine region produces high quality red wine. It covers 400 km² of land on the south facing slopes of the sub-Carpathian Mountains. The climate is ideal for growing Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot noir, and facilitates the production of sweet red wine, rich in flavour and without excessive tannins.

Dealu Mare Vineyard

This vineyard, in Munténie (Northeast of Bucarest), which covers 15000 hecatres of land, is the most compact wine site in Romania. A variety of grapes are grown here in a succession of valleys, including Cabernet sauvignon, Pinot noir, Merlot, Feteasca neagra, Italian Riesling, Tamiioasa and Muscat Ottonel. The wine produced here is the favourite of many Romanians.
The department of Prahova, where the Dealu Mare vineyard is located, runs the tourist “Wine Route” in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism.

Arges-Stefanesti vineyard

Situated near to the Arges valley, this vineyard produces mainly dry, fruity and light wine made from Italian Riesling, Sauvignon and Feteasca regala, as well as medium-dry and sweet wine. The large wine centres, where a sweet apricot flavoured wine is produced from Tămâioasă românească, are situated in Valea Mare and Stefanesti.

Dragasani Vineyards

The Dragasani, Amarasti, Cerna and Iancu Jianu terroirs are situated on low altitude hills. Until the phylloxera epidemic, Drăgăşani wines were obtained from old indigenous grapes Gordan, Crâmpoşie, Braghină and Tămâioasă românească. Tulburelul de Drăgăşaniis, a popular wine made from a blend of the above grape varieties, has been enjoyed for many centuries. Some of the most sought after grape varieties in Europe are currently grown in this vineyard. Long-term success at international competitions confirms the reputation of wine from this region.



IV. The wine regions of the Banat hills

At the beginning of the 19th Century, wine from the Banat vineyards was well renowned and was sought after by the Imperial Court of Vienna. Today, the parts that are situated on in sandy soil on the plains provide mediocre white wine. On the other hand, the vineyards situated on the high hills produce a good red wine called Kadarka.

Miniş vineyard

During the 19th Century, the wines of Miniş were exported to England, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and even America.

Recas/Tirol vineyard

Planted on high stony terraces, these vineyards produce ordinary red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Pinot noir. The wine has a ruby red colour, is fine but quite strong, and has a distinct herb and clove taste.


V. Crisana and Maramures wine region


VI. The Dobroudja plateau wine region (Dobrogea)

Wine has been produced here since Antiquity. This coastal region stretches from the Ukrainian border to the Bulgarian border and has favourable qualities for vine cultivation. Situated in the Southeast of the country, this region benefits from hot and long autumns. There are around 300 days of sunshine a year. Proximity to the Black Sea provides the coolness and humidity necessary for vine cultivation and the development of grey rot. The hills have limestone soil, whereas along the coast, the soil is alluvial and sandy.

Murfatlar vineyard

This is another very important wine region, considered by some experts to be the most promising in Romania. It is situated around 10km from the Black Sea. Murfatlar has the largest surface area of vines in Romania, around 3000 hectares. Exceptional syrupy Chardonnay and Pinot gris wine is produced, along with red wine made from Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot noir. Dessert wine made from Tamâioasa româneasca and Muscat ottonel is also produced in this vineyard.

Sarica-Niculitel/Babadag vineyard

This zone is situated in the north of Dobrogea, at the edge of the Danube, near Tulcea. It produces small quantities of red and white wine, which cannot rival the wines produced in Murfatlar.

VII. The Danube terraces region

VIII. The region in the South of the country with sandy and other terroirs

I. White wine grapes

Indigenous grapes

Busuioaca de Bohotin
This unique grape variety is only found in a small area of Iasi (Moldova). The wine has a rich golden colour and a distinct taste, with hints of honey and peaches, and sometimes with a bitter almond note. It has a perfect balance between sugar, acidity and alcohol.

Creaţa
This indigenous grape is cultivated on a restricted section of land on the vineyards of Recaş. The grapes are large and crisp and produce a dry/medium dry lively wine with a pleasant bouquet.

Feteasca alba
Synonyms: Fetisoara, poama pasareasca (bird grapes), pasareasca alba (white bird grapes) poama fetei alba (white grape from Fetesti).
This old grape variety is grown in practically all Romanian wine regions. It produces 12% of the country’s white wine. It produces dry and medium-dry wine and can be used alone or in blends. When blended with Grasa, Francusa and Tamaioasa, it produces the famous Cotnari wine.

Feteasca Regala
This grape variety is probably a hybrid between Feteasca alba and Grasa de Cotnari. Feteasca alba was the first grape to be grown in Romania, where it produces 30% of white wine. It is also widely grown in Hungary, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia and Slovakia. It is a vigourous vine, not very demanding and resistant to winter frost, but susceptible to diseases and spring frosts, as well as drought. The quality of wine obtained from this grape is very variable, ranging from table wine to superior wine. The good wines are dry and fresh, with a distinct flavour. They are often used in blends. During hot autumns, exceptional syrupy wines are produced in the Brasov region, which are made from 50% Feteasca Regala, 30% Muscat Ottonel and 20% Italian Riesling. The ordinary table wines are usually produced in the Cluj region, either using Fetaesca alone or blended with Neuburger.

Francusa
Synonyms: Tirtara, vinoasa, poama franchie, poama mustei, poama creata, mildweisser, Moldovan mustoasa.
This grape variety orginates from Moldova and is only planted in the region of Cotnari, where it has been grown for many centuries. It only covers 441 hectares of land. The grapes ripen in September and produce a remarkably fresh dry wine with good acidity. The wine can also be used to make sparkling wine. It is generally blended with other grapes from the same region.


Grasa de Cotnari
Synonyms : Grassa, Armas, Furmit, Poma Grassa; Grasa Mare, Grasa Mica.
The Rumanian word ‘grasa’ means fat or full. As its name indicates, this grape variety is orginates from the old Contari vineyard, where it has been cultivated since the 15th Century and where it is still the main grape variety. It comes from the Furmint family; some oenologues believe that they are in fact the same variety.
La Grasa de Cotnari is often considered to be the king of Romanian wines. It is a delectable wine with hints of gold. It is high in sugar and is best consumed with desserts such as cakes and tarts.

Galbena de Odobesti
Synonyms: Galbena, galbena grasa, poama galbena, bucium de poama galbena, sars izum, orangentraube, galbina, galbina batuta, galbina rara, galbina urita.
This grape variety originates from Capatanu sur Milcov, near Odobesti. Before the phylloxera outbreak, it was the main vine in Southern Moldova. However, today, it is not very widely cultivated. It is a very productive grape variety and produces ordinary, light wines.

Muscat Ottonel
This indigenous grape variety survived the phylloxera outbreak. The temperate and cool climate found in certain parts of Romania is very favourable to this vine. Production levels vary between 7.1 and 9.9 t/ha, and sugar levels are remarkable. Alcohol levels in the wine are between 11.5 and 12%. These dessert wines are straw yellow in colour and have a typical Muscat bouquet that evolves with ageing. Alcohol is sometimes added in production, resulting in strong wines that can be kept for a long time.

Tamaioasa Romaneasca
Synonyms: Muscat blanc à petits grains, Frontignan muscat; Tamaioasa alba, tamaioasa de Dragasani, Moldovan tamaioasa.
This is a variety of Muscat blanc, a grape of Greek origin, which has been grown in the Mediterranean wine regions since Antiquity. In Romania, it is the very old local grape variety in Contari and Dragasani. The vine needs good sun exposure and long autumns in order to accumulate sugars. The wine produced from this grape is naturally sweet or medium-sweet, and has alcohol levels of 12-12.5%. It is high a quality aromatic wine, golden yellow in colour and has the perfect balance of alcohol, acid and sugar.
International grape varieties

Italian Riesling
This grape was grown in Romania before the phylloxera outbreak and is still widely cultivated. The harvest is very variable and production oscilates between 1.5 and 7.3 t/ha. Italian Riesling produces dry wine with a degree of alcohol between 11 and 12°. It can also be used for production of sparkling wine.

Sauvignon
This grape, which was introduced after the phylloxera epidemic, is one of the most frequently used varieties for superior quality wines. It is grown in Transylvania, Valachia and Dobroudja. It produces dry and medium dry wine, characterised by finesse and a distinct flavour. Alcohol levels are between 11.5 and 12°, and sugar levels can reach 250g/l depending on the region. Very successful sweet and medium-sweet Sauvignon wine is produced in Murfatlar and Dragasani.

Pinot Gris
Appearing after the phylloxera epidemic, this grape is now mainly planted in Murfatlar, Dealu Mare and Transylvania. The grapes attain very high sugar levels when ripe. Average production is between 5.3 and 9.4 t/ha. In certain wine regions, the wine acquires ‘controlled origin’ denominations. It can be dry, medium-dry or even sweet, when produced from overripe grapes. It is a rounded, very robust and aromatic wine, with alcohol levels of 11.5-12.5°.

Chardonnay
The best results are obtained from this variety when grown on the limestone soils in the vineyards of Dobroudja, notably Murfatlar, where sugar concentration can sometimes reach 245g/l. Production is usually between 5 and 7.7t/ha. The wine is produced in dry, medium-sweet and sweet varieties.

Aligoté
This grape is used for dry white table wines. It is grown in Moldova and Dobroudja. Average production is between 10.7 and 14.5t/ha.

II. Red wine grape varieties

Indigenous grapes

Feteasca Neagra
Synonyms: Poama fetei Neagra, coada rindunicii (swallow’s tail), pasarea neagra (black bird).
This is an old indigenous grape variety that is cultivated in various vineyards in the south of the country, mainly in Moldova and in the vineyard of Dealu Mare. It produces 2.6% of the country’s red wine. The vine is very vigourous and is resistant to winter frosts and drought, but is susceptible to diseases and spring frosts. Production varies between 4.7 and 18.7t/ha. This grape can produce wine with strong characteristics, which has a dark red colour with ruby hints and a velvety texture. The wine has a specific taste of fruits of the forest, blackcurrant and eucalyptus. It can be kept for around ten years.

Babeasca neagra
This ancient Romanian vine is mainly cultivated in the vineyards of Southern Moldova. It provides 9.5% of the country’s red grapes. Average production is between 13.4 and 18.6t/ha. This grape variety is usually used to produce light and fruity table wine, which is best consumed young. This wine has a cherry red colour, which becomes more intense with age. In the vineyards of Nicoresti, this grape produces AOC wines.

Negru de Dragasani
This grape variety originates from the Dragasani region. It is the result of a cross between two indigenous grapes, Negru vârtos and Saperavi. The vine is vigourous and productive. This grape produces very distinct wine, with an ample and rounded taste and a dark ruby red colour.

International grape varieties

Cabernet Sauvignon
This grape variety is grown in the hotter areas of the country, towards the south (Valachie, Banat and Dobroudja). Average production varies between 5.0 t/ha in Murfatlar and 6.7t/ha in Valachie. The wine produced from this grape is well balanced and improves with age. It is high quality and tannic, with an intense ruby red colour and 12-12.5° alcohol. The superior quality and AOC wines are aged in casks for two years.

Merlot
Introduced after the Second World War, this grape variety gives the best results in the hottest and sunniest regions, in Southern Moldova and in Valachie. It is here that superior quality and AOC wines can be produced. Production varies between 7.5 and 15.7t/ha. The wines produced from this grape are fresh, fruity and tannic, and have an intense ruby red colour. They can be kept for up to 8 years.

Pinot Noir
This grape variety is very well adapted to climate and soil conditions in most regions of Romania, witht the exception of Transylvania. Production levels are not very high, usually around 4.5-6.4t/ha. Pinot Noir wine is fruity, rich in alcohol (around 12°), and dark red in colour. They can be kept for up to 8 years.

Romania currently occupies 5th position in Europe in terms of surface area of vineyards. Vineyards in Romania, which are rapidly expanding, currently occupy 50000 hecatres of land for table grapes and 250 000 for wine grapes.

According to OIV, surface area of vines increased to 218000 hectares in 2005.
177085 hectares of land planted is with hybrid vines in Romania, much less than the area negociated with the EU (240000 hectares). Grapes from hybrid vines are mainly used to produce wine for autoconsumption. They mostly belong to the ‘minifundia’ family, which has lower maintenance costs and a more rustic character. This wine cannot rival commercial vinification of ‘Vitis vinifera’ grapes.

The Romanian wine industry is going through a period of great change and is facing a large variety of problems whilst trying to adapt to the current market conditions. In order to increase exports, vine plantation was restructured, giving greater priority to more internationally appreciated grapes, such as Chardonnay, Cabernet sauvignon and Sauvignon blanc.

Grape production.

In terms of grape production, Romania occupies 6th place in Europe.

The 2007 vintage was better than its precedents. However, while quality of production increased, the quantity of wine grapes produced decreased. This can be explained by the lack of water in winter, a severe spring frost, and drought during flowering season, rain and hailstorms at the beginning of August and September. Despite everything, the harvest was ready two or three weeks early. The vineyards most seriously affected by the drought were Dealu Mare, Husi and Cotnari, and it was here that yields were lowest.

If Romania was to be affected by prolonged drought, wine production costs could be affected because of the expense of vine irrigation systems.


II. Wine production

Romania is one of the top ten wine producing countries in the world and one of the top six in Europe, behind France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Portugal, but in front of Hungary and Bulgaria. Romania is a country with great wine production potential.
Despite geographical and climatic conditions favourable to quality, the potential of Romanian vineyards remains unexploited due to an export market that has, for a long time, only concentrated on the USSR. More than half of all production still comes from large cooperatives. After the fall of the Commmunist regime, the market seriously declined, falling in quantity (-56% between 1976 and present), but also quality. This decline can be explained by lack of investment. The problems lie mainly in equipment and wine production techniques. However, remarkable improvements have been made.

Romania produces mainly single grape variety wines (Feteasca alba, Merlot, Pinot noir, Cabernet sauvignon...). 70% of these wines are white, and 30% red. Production of rosé is marginal. These wines are of average to mediocre quality, despite the excellent potential outlined by experts. The reds are often very tannic. Due to the coolness of the climate, the whites are geenrally of higher quality; especially those which manage to retain residual sugars.
In 2006, Romania produced around six million hectolitres if wine, 1.5 million hectolires of which was sold on the market and the rest was used for autoconsumption.

According to a national wine union, Romania’s integration into the EU increased competition between local wine producers, who wanted to occupy as large a sector of the Romanian market as possible, especially the low cost wine market. Local producers need to face the issue of over production, which exists on the local market, as well as the issue of very low prices. According to a local expert, Italy and Spain can sell wine at lower prices than Romania, with factory prices of 30 centimes per litre (in the EU).

According to the newspaper ‘Cotidianal’, although figures for wine imports to the EU and their effects on the local market can only be estimated, numerous Romanian experts believe that imports will have a great effect on local consumption. They think that imported wine will start to be sold at around 4 to 5 euros a litre and will subsequently stabilise around this value.
Producers of low cost wines will be strongly affected by the competition, whilst Romanian producers do not believe that they need to be worried about the premium wine sector. A representative of the national wine union stated that niche wines, for example special, fortified, high in alcohol or limited editions, will not be affected by imports.

Romanian wine consumption rose to 26 litres per person in 2004, but it is too early to tell whether these figures indicate a reverse in the overall regressive trend of individual wine consumption.

According to a local specialist, « it is very difficult to make good wines because in order for them to be successful, you need to change the Romanian mentality. Fortunately the public are open to change. There is a promising market for expensive wines. Romanian people are starting to understand quality”. They are tending to become foreign wine drinkers. 59% of Romanians prefer white wine and 35% red. 33% prefer medium-sweet and 21% dry. 48% like wine spritzers.
Consumption of strong alcohol has decreased in favour of wine and beer. The brewery market is worth 600 million euros and annual coonsumption has increased to 70 litres per person (compared to 40 litres in France). In terms of other alcohol, Romanians favour vodka, Palinka and other spirits made from prunes, apples or even sweet white wine. The influence of the change in buying power is also evident in the sparkling wine market, for example, consumption of French champagnes increased 95% in 2006, whilst imports of French sparkling wines declined.

Trade

The wine market was estimated at 350 million euro in 2005 and reached 400 million euro in 2006. 10-15% growth was expected in 2007.
Whilst Romanian producers are launching themselves on the export market, Romanian wines are victims of foreign competition, especially from New World wines, on their own market. The country has been ‘invaded’ by imported wines. These wines rival Romanian wines on a market that evolves very little, because Romanian consumers drink a lot of beer and other alcoholic drinks.

Exports

In 2004, the Romanian export market represented 1.01% of the global export market, corresponding to 18 596 526 USD.

In 2006, exports reached 13 834.1 tonnes, with a total price of 13 556 700 euro. There are two main identifiable trends on the Romanian wine market, the expansion into the US market and competition from foreign wines, such as those from Chile or Australia.

Last year, Romanian exported wines to countries such as Germany, Russia, USA, Moldova, Great Britain, Estonia and Bulgaria. The main destination is still Germany. German consumers prefer wine from the Feteasca neagra grape. English importers prefer Pinot noir, and the Belgians, the sweet white wine Tamaioasa Romaneasca. Well-off consumers are targeted in North America, but advertising is very expensive. Around 9900 hectolitres are exported to the USA every year, but producers want to increase this figure using traditional brands.

Romania only exports 4 – 15% of its wine production every year, far less than other large wine producing countries and proportionally less than its main neighbours, Hungary, Bulgaria and Moldova. In 2006, Murfatlar, the biggest producers of capiteux wines in Romania, exported 20% of its total production to countries such as the USA, Israel, Spain, Italy and Finland. Murfatlar export levels have increased by 6% over the last two years.

Much of the wine produced by foreign investors is exported to Northern Europe (Germany, Great Britain, Denmark, Estonia) and to the USA. These products are often single grape variety wines with fairly standard flavours, which meet the expectations of certain consumers.

Imports

Imports tripled in 2006, and for the first time, Romania found itself deficient in this sector. In 2006, imports reached 58 320.6 tonnes and totalled 22 119 000 euros.

In 2007, Romania imported wine from Moldova, Spain, Italy, Hungary, France, Germany, California, Argentina and Chile. Low range wines from Moldova represented for the largest type in volume. However, Romania also imported small quantities of quality wines that are sold in supermarkets and luxury restaurants and are only accessible to a small part of the population.


Sales

A large number of small producers continue to record the majority of sales. Small outlets also control the retail sector, which was expected to reach 40 billion euro in 2007. Consumption patterns are changing and the change in incomes and consumption habits are also bringing about changes in food product demand. The range tends to conform to European norms and is progressively adapting to the demands of consumers. Large-scale retail stores, although starting to develop, are still poorly represented in Romania, with a level comparable to that of Poland ten years ago. RealHypermarket, Auchan, Carrefour and PIC Groups, who in total have 19 hypermarkets in Romania, are planning to open fifteen more in 2008. Medium sized supermarkets are also following this trend. A spectacular number of discount stores are also opening (+245% in 2005 in terms of number of outlets).

Romanian wine legislation combines the French AOC system and the German system for measuring the quality of wines according to their sugar levels. Classification of Romanian wine is defined according to three criteria, colour, quantity of residual sugar and quality.
According to colour, wines are classified as white, red or rosé.
According to residual sugar quantity, wines are classified as follow: dry (max 4g/l), medium-dry (4-12g/l), medium-sweet (12-50g/l) or sweet (min 50g/l).

The quality categories recognised by Romanian law are as follows:

1. Wines for frequent consumption (8-10% alcohol):
- table wine (VM)
- superior table wine (VMS)

2. Quality wines:

- superior quality wine (VS) (min. 10.5% alcohol)
Superior quality wines are produced from grape varieties with great potential, which are grown in specific wine regions. These wines are sold under the name of the vineyard or the appellation of origin, with or without mention of the grape variety. Wines sold under the name of the grape variety must be produced using at least 85% of the named grape.

- AOC wines (DOC)
- superior quality AOC wines (VDOC)
Superior quality wines are produced from authorised grape varieties recommended for each region, according to well established criteria (sections of vineyards, variety or assortment of varieties, cultivation methods, maximum harvest per hectare, techniques employed and quality control). They must contain a minimum of 11% alcohol.

- AOC wines subject to quality control (DOCC).
These are the best wines, to which a quality level is attributed according to the ripeness of the grapes. Wines produced from fully ripe grapes are labelled DOCC-CMD, those produced from overripe grapes are labelled DOCC-CT, and those made using botyrisé grapes are labelled DOCC-CIB.

Other authorised distinctions are:

o « bottled on site »
o «selected harvest (CS) »
o «vinothèque wine»
o « pure grape variety »
o « young wine »
o « specially bottled »
o « prize winning wine »
o « barrel wine »
o « reserve »
o « wine aged in casks »


Since 1933, the Ministry of Agriculture has granted the right to use an AOC according to legislation set by the national wine office. According to these rules, AOC wines should be aged for a minimum of 1 to 2 years for whites, and 2 to 3 years for reds. Half of the ageing process must take place in oak barrels. Fourteen authorised laboratories, situated at the main vineyards, analyse the chemical and physical characteristics of the wines. These laboratories have their own seals, which are registered with the specialist department of the European Union in Brussels.
There are 8 wine regions in which 132 AOC appellations can be identified:

The Romanian wine route

Harvest has always been a great party for the Romanians. In the Middle Ages, battles were put back and urgent court matters were drawn out to make time for the occasion. The voïvodes camped in the vineyards and small orchestras played all day. This archaic ritual still takes place today in some cellars, but is usually for the benefit of tourists.
The wine route encompasses the largest vineyards and cellars, where visitors can taste produce. The route includes the Cetatea, Baltă and Bălcaciu cellars (situated in the Jidvei vineyard), the Urlăţeanu Cellar in Urlaţi, a manor that dates back to between the two wars, in Seciu, which is 26 Km from Ploieşt and the Veritas Panciu cellar in the vineyard of the same name.

Relics of voïevodic courts, royal manors, attics and cellars (a number of which belong to to old monastries and churches belonging to the same Royal), are some of the most interesting attractions along the wine route. In Cotnari, Ştefan del Mare constructed an impressive cellar. Another, which is amongst the deepest in the country, is found in the same vineyard, in Cârjoaia. The Evêché de Huşi cellars are also very old and were founded by the same person. The royal cellar Piatra Neamţ and the Panciu wine cellars are also attributed to Ştefan del Mare. The cellar that belonged to Mihai Sturdza, Prince of Odobesti, which dates back to 1839, is another popular attraction. The royal caves of Valea Mare-Argeş and those located under the Mogoşoaia Palace are also interesting, and were constructed by Constantin Brâncoveanu.
Even churches and monastries such as Putna, Golia, Bârnova, Cetăţuia and Galata, founded by the voïvodes, have areas dedicated to wine.


Museums

The oldest evidence of Romanian civilisation is linked to wine. Objects such as tools and stone vats where grapes were pressed are on display at museums in Murfatlar, Bucium-Iaşi and Huşi, Drăgăşani and Goleşti-Argeş. There is also a museum in Miniş, a visit to which can be combined with wine tasting or even the harvest festival on the last Sunday in September. The wine production in Bucium-Iaşi also has a museum and wine tasting facilities.
