  • A Comparative Study of Tastes and Preferences for Local and Foreign Wines in Bulgaria
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TASTES AND PREFERENCES FOR LOCAL AND FOREIGN WINES IN BULGARIA Petyo Boshnakov University of Economics – Varna, Bulgaria [email protected] Abstract: On the base of semantic differential instrument we assess the main factors in wine demand attitudes of Bulgarian customers. We aim to find out whether specific marketing techniques could alter the demand for such a traditional product as wine in Bulgaria. Given the fact that Bulgarian customers only recently received the possibility to taste imported wines, we find that foreign wines are evaluated mainly through the prejudice of past knowledge, not linked to the actual product. Most likely the demand for wine in Bulgaria will continue to be focused on local products. Furthermore we examine how the region of origin determines tastes and preferences for consuming a specific type of wine and the price the consumer is ready to pay. Keywords: demand for wine, Bulgarian wine, regional varieties of wine 191 1. BULGARIAN WINE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT After Bulgaria joined the EU there has been an obvious deepening of the trend to restructure the vineyard and wine sector in the country, which had started in the pre-accession period. The change was necessitated by several key factors: • Outdated variety structure of the vines, mainly consistent with the old markets in Eastern Europe and Russia • Increasing export opportunities for the European Common Market in an environment of strong competition • The emergence of a considerable number of private farms and small wineries oriented towards production and export of high-quality wines • Funding opportunities for restructuring in the sector through EU funds Bulgaria managed to preserve its traditions in the wine industry despite the economically difficult transition.

North Greece is one of the most privileged and dynamic vine-growing regions in the country. It is a large area which extends from the Ionian Sea in the West to the River Evros in the East, and from the northern borders of the country with Albania, FYROM and Bulgaria down to Mount Olympus in Central Greece. The history and tradition of vine-growing and wine in this region have their roots in ancient times. On Olympus, the mythical mountain, the Gods enjoyed drinking Nectar, far from the eyes of mortals. According to mythology, on the lush green slopes of Mount Vermion, in Naoussa, lived Semele, mother of Dionysus – the god of vine and wine – who roamed around the foothills of Mount Pangeon in Drama. In the incredible mo- saic floor of an ancient villa at Pella, the god Dionysus is depicted riding on a pan- ther. Furthermore, Odysseus got the Cyclops Polyphemus drunk on smooth, fragrant wine from Maronia in Thrace. The company Wines of North Greece, with its prominent winery members, operates in this region, with its thousand-year vine and wine tradition.

  • About Bulgaria Bulgarian Wine
    About Bulgaria Bulgaria was established in 681 and is the only European country that has not changed its name since its inception. Europe's oldest continuously inhabited city - Plovdiv - is also located in Bulgaria. Bulgaria has a rich culture influenced by Thracians, Romans, Greeks, Slavs, Byzantines and Ottomans who left multiple important cultural heritage sites and cultural footprints on the country. Bulgaria has given the world the Cyrillic alphabet used by millions of people in Eastern Europe and parts of Asia. Bulgaria also prides itself on distinct styles of singing, dancing and unique uneven rhythms found in the country's folklore, as well as being the homeland of yoghurt, the finest rose oil in the world and the starting point of winemaking in Europe - a tradition inhabited from the enigmatic Thracians more than 5 000 years ago. Bulgaria is mysterious, enchanting, unexplored, inviting and surprising. Bulgaria is a place with countless stories that hide behind each stone, tree, bridge, monument. Bulgaria is a place where the Orient meets Europe for the first time and where memories of old civilizations, cultures and traditions stretch further back than in any other European country. Bulgarian Wine Wine making in Bulgaria dates to Thracian times more than 5 000 years ago. Thracian wine was described by Homer in The Iliad (around VIII century BC) as being the finest wine. In fact, the first known “wine appellations” were established in northern Bulgaria by the Roman emperor Antonius Pius in II century AD. Later, a legend describes how the Bulgarian town of Asenovgrad was spared in 1205 during the fourth crusade because of the excellent wine that was made there.

  • How to Achieve a Successful Prise De Mousse
    HOW TO ACHIEVE A SUCCESSFUL PRISE DE MOUSSE A good preparation of a Prise de Mousse is multifactorial. The composition of the base wine is essential, but many other parameters will have an impact. All parameters are interdependents. If there are several limiting factors, then this will increases the risk of failure. The following key parameter values are given as recommendations. If only one parameter shows a value above the recommended values, then it is strongly recommended to carefully follow the starter protocol and to avoid ANY other limiting parameters. KEY PARAMETERS During the Prise de Mousse, the alcoholic percentage will increase 1.3 to ALCOHOL 1.5%Vol. So, it is recommended to have a base wine %Vol. around 11 to 11.5%Vol. SO strongly impacts yeast activity. The recommended concentration is 10 FREE SO 2 2 ppm, maximum 15 ppm. Base wine pH is usually between 3.0 and 3.2. With techniques like electrodialysis, the pH can often be below 3.0. It is important to not have a pH pH below 2.9. Below this value, yeast activity is negatively impacted. These naturally difficult pH conditions can also occur in cool climate areas. There is an interplay between pH and molecular SO2 ; a low pH means a high active SO2. Historically, base wines were often aerated before Prise de Mousse. We now understand the significance of this step ; it is not for adding oxygen to the DISSOLVED CO2 Prise de Mousse but rather to remove CO2. We estimate that 0.4 g/L of dissolved CO2 can inhibit yeast activity by 40%.
