The event was part of a broad initiative aimed at supporting and developing the wine industry in Ukraine

The second tasting seminar and presentation, “Consumer Tasting of the Best Craft Wines of Ukraine-2023,” was recently held at the Kyiv Analytical Center “Club of Experts.” The event was supported by the All-Ukrainian Association of Winemakers and Sommeliers, the House of Ukrainian Wine, and the Ukrsadvinprom Public Union. This was reported by Interfax-Ukraine.

“The event was part of a broad initiative aimed at supporting and developing the wine industry in Ukraine. The Ukrainian wine market continues to actively develop and implement new quality standards. This is evidenced by both Ukraine’s recent return to the International Wine Organization and the holding of competitions, festivals, and tasting events aimed at promoting domestic brands,” the Expert Club noted.

During the tasting, experts, guests, and participants had the opportunity to evaluate the quality and taste characteristics of twelve varieties of wine and spirits presented by domestic producers.

As Maxim Urakin, founder of the Expert Club, emphasized, it is currently important to support domestic wine producers: “Every bottle of wine made in Ukraine is not only a high-quality and delicious product. It is also a contribution to the development of the Ukrainian economy, jobs, and confidence in the future for our compatriots.”

Natalia Blagopoluchna, president of the All-Ukrainian Association of Winemakers and Sommeliers, emphasized the uniqueness of the organoleptic and taste properties of Ukrainian craft wine.

“Our wines impress with their diversity, which is guaranteed by different local conditions and grape characteristics. They surprise, inspire, and encourage experimentation. Our wines are creativity and art,” said Blagopoluchna.

At the same time, the event became a platform for the exchange of experience, knowledge, and ideas between producers, experts, and wine lovers.

Information support for the event was provided by the Open4business portal and the Interfax-Ukraine news agency. It is also reported that the Expert Club plans to hold further tasting seminars.
