Rather serious changes can be noticed in the winemaking sphere of Armenia in the recent years and investors are interested in creating winemaking business in Armenia, “Armenpress” reports acting Executive Director of Armenia's Viticulture and Winemaking Fund Zaruhi Muradyan told the reporters on May 13. According to her, new orchards, factories have been established in Armenia in the recent years, but for making high-quality wine it’s necessary to obtain high-quality grape.

“Unfortunately, for years orchards were created in Armenia for brandy production. Cultivation of correct orchard for making grape wine does not exist”, she said.

According to Muradyan, if in the past Armenia produced wine only for Armenia, now they are able to produce wine for European and global markets which record achievements in various contests.
