Let it be that change as wine producers in Bulgaria deserve it not only because of the medals they are constantly winning at prestigious wine exhi- bitions but because they put a great deal of eff ort not just to survive but also to be modern, innovative and up-to-date with wine trends and even set them fi rst. They deserve respect, recognition and high sales, and this is one of the instruments to achieve that. An invaluable tool that off ers even laymen like me all the necessary information. So let's raise our glasses for Tzveta, Katia and all of those who made it possible to hold in our hands the Bulgarian wine guide for the sixth year in a row! Cheers!
