First of all, experts urge not to pay attention to the big names of wine regions.
“Bordeaux can also be 350 rubles each, and sausage - 100 rubles each, but it is hardly worth buying both based on at least average quality,” the statement said.
It is indicated that in Europe there are less “hyped” wine countries and regions than Bordeaux and Burgundy.
So, wines of Portugal are distinguished by good value for money. In France, it is recommended to pay attention to the southern regions, for example Languedoc (the labels Pays d'Oc indicate the origin of the wine).
“You can find inexpensive“ Moldova ”of acceptable quality on the market. Deliveries from this country are now tightly controlled by Rospotrebnadzor, ”the organization added.
As noted in Roskachestvo, experts also value Austrian wines - “during periods of promotions, they can be bought at a price of up to 500 rubles per bottle.”
“The main thing is to carefully read not only the label, but also the counter-label. If you don’t feel like drinking “Moldova” under the guise of wine “from Germany”, you need to make sure that the address of the wine producer is in the same country that is indicated on the label, ”the recommendation says.
So, it is reported that on the shelves you can find wines where Chili is indicated on the front of the label, and on the back is the name of a small town in Eastern Europe, or even some Stavropol village.
The organization’s specialists also presented the five countries that lead in the export of wine to Russia: Spain - 43.7 million liters in 2018, Italy - 38.3 million liters, Georgia - 37.3 million liters, France - 28.6 million liters, and Abkhazia - 19 million liters.
Earlier, Roskachestvo compiled a rating of sparkling wines from Russian grapes.
