“There are some competitive products in our country, which make us proud that we are citizens of Moldova. Wines, besides fruits and vegetables of quality, are our business card abroad. Thanks for dedication and passion you produce these wines, as well as for the fact that you managed to develop industry in line with the highest standards”, he said.
