ROMANIA WINE COUNTRY

Romania, with its long established wine culture, is a renowned European producer of world-class quality wines. Place of Romania world-wide: • area under vine (5th position in the EU) behind Spain, France, Italy and Portugal • grape production (5th position in the EU) behind Italy, Spain, France and Germany • wine production (6th position in the EU), behind Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Germany • among the first 15 countries in the world with regard to area under vine Romania Wine Country

Tucked in the southeastern corner of Europe where the Blue Danube opens into the Black Sea, Romania has a winemaking history that dates back more than 4,000 years. Legend has it that Dionysus, the Thracian god of wine, was born in Romania and that Plato declared its vineyards the best in the world. Today, vineyards dot the Romanian landscape from Transylvania to the Danube delta in what has been called Europe’s last great unspoiled frontier. Indigenous grapes and international varieties flourish here at the same latitude as Europe’s finest wine regions including Bordeaux, Burgundy and Piemonte. Plantings are influenced by both the terroir and individual winemakers. Romanian Wine Regions Map Romanian Wines 2015 APEV ROMANIA
