“Such guides in other countries have been working for many decades to motivate the manufacturer for the stable quality of their products so that every consumer can easily buy wine in the store and not be afraid. And the consumer, studying such national guides, seeing those trademarks that do not deceive him, who have maintained this level of quality for a long period, is buying them. Thus, natural selection occurs. On the shelves are only those manufacturers who really monitor the quality, “- he said.

Protasov also said that information about the 300 brands of wine that were included in the guide in 2018 and tested last year can be obtained on the official website of Roskachestvo.

He expressed the hope that this year the number of brands included in the national wine guide will be more than doubled.
