"We came with a range of wines that we have in our portfolio, but we also came with two new wines from the 2022 harvest. We want to communicate face to face.";

"Pinot noir wine, cabernet from grapes in conversion from organic farming, is a product we are very proud of. We want to show everyone the products we are dedicated to 365 days a year.";

"We also have wines that are from this year: it's a white girly, very aromatic. We want sales to be even higher than they are now.”

Consumers say they have been waiting for the event to meet new manufacturers.

"I was able to taste a sparkling wine that is in the first fermentation. It's something new, I've never tasted it before. I want to know new flavours, new wines, new producers.";

"It is an event long awaited by all wine lovers. I'm really going to enjoy this glass at home because I still have three more.";

"I have a son in America and I'm going to visit him soon and I want to give him a gift from the Republic of Moldova."

In addition to the fact that the event brings winemaking to the fore as a traditional art, the action also has a charitable purpose.

"The event is a tribute dedicated to the great composer Eugen Doga, it has a charitable aspect. From the sale of tickets, 10% will be given to the "Eugen Doga" Music School, says the director of the National Vine and Wine Office, Elizaveta Breahnă.

"Through this way and through this celebration, through such openings, we generally promote the consumption of alcohol very and very moderately, very nicely, we make it a tradition," says the Minister of Agriculture, Vladimir Bolea.

"It is a special evening where the best Moldovan wines are highlighted. We are proud to support this action for many years, we are proud of its results. As a consumer it is a beautiful experience", says the US ambassador to Chisinau, Kent D. Logsdon.

The eighth edition of the "Wine Opening" was organised by the National Vine and Wine Office, with the support of USAID Moldova.
