It is worldwide famous and it has won many international awards. Merit for the great taste of the Bulgarian wines is the specific climatic and geographic characteristics, and the ancient tradition in the area of viticulture and winemaking. Ever since the ancient Thracians, who inhabited these lands, wine has been respected. They used it not only as a drink on the table, but also for many of their religious rituals. They believed that with wine they could reach their gods. The ancient Greek god Dionysus and his Thracian analogue Zagreus were worshipped by the Thracians as gods of wine and merriment. Evidence for the ancient Thracian traditions in wine production and consumption are the magnificent Thracian treasures, which are mostly wine sets. 3 www.bulgariatravel.org Even Homer often mentioned the superior qualities of the Thracian wines in his works. After the establishment of the Bulgarian state in the 7th century, the traditions in winemaking were inherited and continued. Many medieval travelers, who travelled across our lands, mention the properties of the various wines they have tasted on their way. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century the viticulture and wine making were already approached professionally and the foundations of the modern Bulgarian wine production were laid. Nowadays high quality wines from Bulgarian producers can be found all over the world. The taste for good wine and the interest in the local varieties triggered the entry of wine tourism, wine tours and tastings in Bulgaria. Many of the wineries in the country organize events where experts and guests get acquainted with their best products. 4 BULGARIAN WINE 5 www.bulgariatravel.org 6 BULGARIAN WINE 7 www.bulgariatravel.org 8 BULGARIAN WINE In the region of Pleven, in of tasting, as well as taste Kayluka park, stands the various wines.

Objects of the study were the hybrids: 25/12 (Pamid Rousse 1 × Kaylash- ki Misket), 5/51 (Naslada × Chardonnay) and 5/83 (Naslada x Chardonnay). Misket Otonel cultivar was chosen as control. The aim was the reaction of hybrid wine breeding forms of vine to downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola (Berkeley et Curtis) to be determined. The phytopathological assessment of the attack of Plasmopara viticola on leaves was carried out according to the OIV 452 scale, and on berries and clusters – according to the OIV 453 scale, where the resistance was represented in 5 grades 1-3-5-7-9, as 1 was maximum resistance. The following traits were registered: index of attack (%), correlation coefficient between disease progression and yield obtained, weight of cluster (kg), maturation period, sugar content (%), acid content (g/l).

As a whole the beetles appeared in the very end of March – beginning of April and reached their peak flight in the second half of April – beginning of May; catches were recorded up to the middle of July.

Most commercial and cultural activities are centered on the capital and largest city, Sofia. The country is a member of the European Union, NATO, and the Council of Europe.

  • 45. REASONS for WINE TOURISM in BULGARIA M. Pereviazko, K.O
    45. REASONS FOR WINE TOURISM IN BULGARIA M. Pereviazko, K.O. Veres National University of Food Technologies Wine tourism industry in Western Europe, especially in France and Italy are much more developed than in Bulgaria. But this is not due to the quality of drinks. Geographically, Bulgaria is located in the same climate zone as Spain, France and Italy - the major wine regions of the world. Just like these countries, It is considered one of the centers of cultivation of grapes. Scientists believe that the Thracians in the territory of modern Bulgaria made first wine in Europe. Eater the Greeks to find out from the Thracians secret receipt of grapes divine drink and arrogated to themselves the right of the pioneers of winemaking. Why do people prefer wine tourism not just drink wine at home what bought in the store? First of all, people should be remembered that wine, as opposed to people do not like to travel. As experts consider, in a way it can "get sick." So before the 93 entertain friends by wine from faraway countries, give him a chance to "rest" at least a week. The beauty of wine tourism is not sightseeing. Meeting people who produce this drink it is remains in the memory. Real manufacturer is in love with his work, and talk with them is very interesting. Some aesthetes prefer to stay in the castles of winemakers, to communicate with these eminent people. Observation of the production of wine can cause at least surprising in an untrained person. Guests can still see how the grapes are crushed underfoot in small wineries in Bulgaria.
