  • Utopia Europa? Transition and Responses to EU Rural Development Initiatives in the Republic of Macedonia's Tikveš Wine Region
    76 Kroeber Anthropological Society Papers Vol. 102/103 KROEBER ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 103(1): 76-92 Utopia Europa? Transition and Responses to EU Rural Development Initiatives in the Republic of Macedonia’s Tikveš Wine Region Justin Otten Introduction “Crno e, Tikveško e”—[It’s black, it’s [from] Tikveš] is a well-known musical lyric about the dark red wine produced in the south-central Tikveš region of the Republic of Macedonia. Grape products—wine and brandy, primarily—from the region are among Macedonia’s main agricultural exports, and in a country where nearly one-fifth of the workforce is involved in agriculture, their role in the country’s economy is thus significant.1 In Tikveš, this percentage is even greater, as an estimated ten thousand individuals and their families—half of the local population—grow grapes or other agricultural products. Grapes have supposedly been grown in Tikveš for millenia, though without doubt industriously since the middle of the 20th century when Tikveš was developed into the largest wine region not only of Yugoslavia but of Southeast Europe. Yugoslav growers could maintain ten hectares of private land and had the choice of where to sell their produce; however, the large state-run wineries in Tikveš paid well with little regard to quality, and were the primary buyers of the individual growers’ grapes. These relationships between growers and buyers continued throughout the 1990s despite the country’s independence in 1991. The largest winery in the country, Tikveš Winery, was first denationalized in the late 1990s by distributing shares akcii( ) of the company to its employees.

It is also surrounded by countries where vines have been grown and wine produced since the ancient times. The paper presents the history of North Macedonia as a wine-growing country, and provides an overview of its enotourism offer. An inventory of winery offers based on their official websites and Facebook profiles was performed, including the analysis of the surveys conducted among enotour- ists. Said surveys targeted participants of the Tikveški Grozdober festival in particular. It should also be mentioned that several of them were completed by Macedonian residents. The survey results outline a socio-demographic profile of the enotourists coming to this country and their enotouristic experience. The article sheds light on the history of winemaking and presents wine regions in North Macedonia. Keywords: wine tourism, wine regions, North Macedonia, Balkans, wine tourist profile 1.
