The public organization Association of Gardeners, Grape Growers and Winemakers of Ukraine (Ukrsadvinprom) and the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food have begun work on the creation of a viticultural register to record the production and consumption of grapes and wine in Ukraine, which will allow to cancel the licensing of wine and remove it from the list of excisable goods.
This was announced by Head of the public organization Volodymyr Pechko at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine on Friday.
Ukrsadvinprom and the Ministry of Agrarian Policy begin to work on the creation of a viticultural register, which is necessary for the correct regulation of the market, namely, on the creation of three types of obligatory declarations: how many grapes you produced, how much wine you made from these grapes, and how much wine you have left at the end of the year,” Pechko said.
According to him, the state with the help of these three declarations will be able to effectively analyze the production, sales volumes and carryover stocks of grapes and wine in the country, which in the future will allow it to abandon the need to license wine and abolish the excise tax from it.
He added that, according to Ukrainian law, wine is a food product that should not be subject to excise tax.
“I believe that this will lead to an increase in the number of wineries. We are working to ensure that such ‘chateau’ [wineries] are created in Ukraine. These do not have to be giant enterprises,” Pechko said.
In addition, Ukrsadvinprom intends in 2022 to join the OIV (International Organization of Vine and Wine), which controls 85% of the world wine market.
“We are planning to enter the international organization OIV. This is an organization for wine, which includes 47 states. It is 85% of the world wine market, which is created by the leading countries: China, France, Spain, the United States – and which everyone is striving to join. It is engaged in the harmonization of accepted standards for the production of wine products,” Pechko said.
According to him, this initiative is also supported by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy. The head of the organization said that the issue of joining the OIV is only how much time is needed to complete the association procedure. He admitted that it will be possible to do this next year.
Interfax-Ukraine and the Experts Club acted as partners of Odessa Wine Week.

The Kyiv analytical center Experts Club hosted the first of a series of events dedicated to the popularization of Ukrainian wine and the prospects for the development of the Ukrainian wine industry, as well as the analysis of the products of the best producers of domestic wine. The event was held with the participation and support of the Odesa National Technological University and the Ukrsadvinprom association.
During the meeting, the participants heard the report of the Doctor of Agricultural Science, Professor of the Odesa National Technological University Natalia Kameneva on the topic “Sensory analysis – an innovative tool for the development of the wine sector.”
During the presentation, the results of the activities of the wine industry in 2020 were presented. So, last year, Ukraine exported 14.4 million liters of wine, which is twice as much as in 2019, while the import of wine to Ukraine in 2020 increased by 22% compared to 2019.
In addition, Natalia Kameneva presented a scientific and educational laboratory for sensory analysis of wines, opened at the National Academy of Food Technologies and successfully accredited in accordance with international quality standard ISO 17025: 2019.
“Today the laboratory meets all requirements and standards, it was created for sensory analysis of food products in accordance with international standards, training and education of experts in sensory analysis, research of consumer preferences in the field of sensory analysis of food products,” he scientist explained.
The founder of the Experts Club, Maksim Urakin, stressed that the center is ready to become a platform for the popularization of Ukrainian wines.
“I believe that many varieties of Ukrainian wine remain underestimated in the consumer market. Within the framework of this project, we will try to change the situation,” he said.
The head of the Ukrsadvinprom association, in turn, added that state support for domestic winegrowers and winemakers is still at a low level, which leads to the filling of the market with imported wines, including low-quality ones.
“We have the largest association in the country, which includes 80% of Ukrainian wine producers, we would like the state to systematically work on programs to support Ukrainian producers, both the consumer and the budget will benefit from this,” Volodymyr Pechko said.
Also, within the framework of the meeting, an organoleptic analysis of the quality of eight samples of leading Ukrainian wine producers was carried out. The wines of such Ukrainian producers took part in the tasting: SHABO, Artwinery (Artemivsk Champagne Factory), Prince Trubetskoi Winery, Frumushika, Beykush winery, Villa Tinta, Stakhovsky Wines, Leleka wines.
The event was held in partnership with the leading international tasting competition Odessa Wine Week. The next Odessa Wine Week festival will be held in Odesa from May 24 to May 29, 2022.

Quinze événements originaux autour du vin, de la vinification et du tourisme œnogastronomique ont eu lieu à Odessa du 18 au 23 mai dans le cadre de la semaine du vin d’Odessa/Odessa Wine Week.
Les événements ont réuni 87 orateurs et experts d’Ukraine (d’Odessa à la Transcarpatie) et de 18 pays (de l’Autriche au Japon).
L’événement a suscité un grand intérêt des communautés du vin, du tourisme, des affaires et des médias – environ 3 000 visiteurs ont visité les lieux d’Odessa Wine Week ces jours-ci.
Le programme se composait d’activités diverses: sectorielle, intersectorielle, éducative, de masse. En particulier, le congrès comprenait plus de 40 sujets d’exposés et de discussions.
Forum « L’Avenir du vin » / Wine Future Forum
Vignerons, spécialistes du marketing, journalistes ont discuté des perspectives de l’industrie du vin.
En particulier, la discussion “Avenir du vin: le point de vue des vignerons” a été suivie par: le vigneron de la 5ème génération, le principal vigneron “Château Changyu Moser XV” Lenz Moser (Autriche); PDG de la société viticole SHABO Giorgi Iukuridze (Ukraine, Odessa); propriétaire du groupe d’entreprises Vinos de La Luz Ricardo Nunez (Argentine); propriétaire de la cave artisanale Stakhovsky Wines, la première raquette d’Ukraine Serhiy Stakhovsky (Ukraine, Zakarpattia); vigneron, PDG de « PIERA 1899 » Pierre Martellozzo (Italie).
À l’issue de la discussion, les vignerons sont parvenus aux conclusions suivantes sur l’avenir du vin:
les marques de vin deviendront plus personnalisées; les tendances de la rose et du pétillant se poursuivront très probablement; les dégustations en ligne ne pourront pas remplacer les traditionnelles; la consommation de vin ukrainien augmentera en Ukraine (ça n’arrivera pas demain, mais dans un proche avenir); le nombre des établissements vinicoles en Ukraine augmentera.
Le forum a également discuté, écouté des exposés et des présentations dans le panel “Les programmes de gouvernement, de subvention et les programmes bancaires qui soutiennent la vinification. Investissements dans la vinification.” Des collègues d’Ukraine et de Moldavie, des spécialistes du marketing et des économistes, le ministre de la Politique agraire de l’Ukraine Roman Leshchenko ont été entendus. Des participants étrangers ont parlé de leur expérience, des investissements et des programmes gouvernementaux qui soutiennent la vinification en Argentine et dans la région de Valpolicella (Italie).
Lors des tables rondes “Promotion de la marque “vin ukrainien”. Création d’une carte de visite du vin ukrainien”, les experts ont examiné comment peut-on changer les préjugés des consommateurs ukrainiens vers le vin ukrainien. On a discuté les possibilités d’écrire et de parler du vin d’une façon passionnante et professionnelle. On a proposé des moyens de créer et de promouvoir la marque du «vin ukrainien». On a discuté ce qu’était la vinification honnête -business, créativité ou suicide.
Le journalisme du vin a enfin été discuté en Ukraine – le premier panel de discussion sur ce sujet a eu lieu lors du Forum « L’Avenir du vin »/Wine Future Forum. Le journalisme œnologique ukrainien, peut-il aider les vignerons à créer et à promouvoir la marque «vin ukrainien»? Que faut-il faire pour cela? Pendant qu’on cherchait des réponses, l’idée de créer une Association / un Bureau pour le Développement du Journalisme du Vin et des Marques est née.
Concours de dégustation panukrainien “Odessa Wine & Spirit Awards”
65 entreprises ukrainiennes (305 échantillons de vin) ont participé au concours.
L’évaluation a utilisé un programme de dégustation spécialisé de la société anglaise « Gustos Life », basé sur la technologie blockchain (qui élimine la possibilité de modifier les notes des experts pendant le concours et après son achèvement).
La particularité du concours est la combinaison de la méthodologie d’analyse sensorielle et du travail du jury, composé de 16 experts qualifiés et certifiés. Le travail du jury a pu être visionné en direct.
Selon les résultats du concours dans la catégorie des vins, 30 vins ont remporté des médailles d’or, 49 vins ont remporté des médailles d’argent; dans la catégorie des boissons fortes: 7 médailles d’or et 7 d’argent.
Les gagnants du concours ont le droit d’apposer le logo du prix reçu sur l’étiquette du produit.
Une cérémonie solennelle de remise des lauréats a eu lieu avec la participation des médias nationaux et régionaux, des milieux viticoles et d’affaires.
“Meilleur verre Riedel pour la variété Odessa Black” / “Best Riedel glass for Odessa Black variety”
Ce projet compétitif vise à promouvoir la marque du «vin ukrainien», la formation de l’image du vin noir d’Odessa / Odessa Black en tant que carte de visite de la vinification ukrainienne dans le monde – par analogie avec Saperavi (Géorgie), Fetyasca (Moldavie), Malbec (Argentine), Carmener (Chili), Shiraz (Australie) et autres.
32 échantillons de vin du cépage autochtone “Odessa Black” ont été soumis au concours.
Au cours du projet, le meilleur verre de la marque de renommée mondiale Riedel a été officiellement choisi pour le vin local “Odessa Black”. Parmi neuf variantes de verres, les experts en vin ont choisi un verre n°4 de la collection Performance.

Fifteen original events about wine, winemaking and gastronomy tourism took place as part of Odessa Wine Week in Odesa from May 18 to May 23.
The event was attended by 87 speakers and experts from Ukraine (from Odesa to Zakarpattia) and from 18 countries (from Austria to Japan).
The event aroused great interest of wine, tourist, business and media communities – about 3,000 visitors attended the locations of Odessa Wine Week these days.
The program consisted of activities of various directions: industry, cross-industry, educational, mass. In particular, the congress part included more than 40 topics of reports and discussions.
Wine Future Forum
Winemakers, marketers, journalists discussed the prospects of the wine industry.
In particular, the discussion “The Future of Wine: the View of Winemakers” was attended by the winemaker in the fifth generation, chief winemaker of Chateau Changyu Moser XV Lenz Moser (Austria), CEO of SHABO winery Giorgi Iukuridze (Ukraine, Odesa), owner of Vinos de La Luz group of companies Ricardo Nunez (Argentina), the owner of Stakhovsky craft winery, number one tennis player in Ukraine Serhiy Stakhovsky (Ukraine, Zakarpattia), the winemaker, CEO of “PIERA 1899” Piera Martellozzo (Italy).
As a result of the discussion, the winemakers came to such conclusions about the future of wine: wine brands will become more personalized, trends on rose and sparkling wine are likely to continue, online tastings will not be able to replace traditional ones, in Ukraine, the consumption of Ukrainian wine will grow (this will not happen tomorrow, but in the near future), and there will be more wineries in Ukraine.
Participants in the forum also discussed, listened to reports and presentations in the panel “Government, grants, banking programs to support winemaking. Investments in winemaking.” They listened to fellow winemakers from Ukraine and Moldova, marketers and economists, Minister of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine Roman Leschenko. They learned from foreign participants about their experience, investment and government programs to support winemaking in Argentina and Valpolicella region (Italy).
In the panel discussions “Promotion of the brand “Ukrainian wine.” Creating a wine business card of Ukraine,” the experts discussed how to crack the prejudice of Ukrainian consumers to Ukrainian wine. They discussed how to write and talk about wine in a fascinating and professional way. They offered ways to create and promote the “Ukrainian wine” brand. They decided what honest winemaking was – business, creativity or suicide.
In Ukraine, they finally talked about wine journalism – the first discussion panel on this topic was held at the Wine Future Forum. Can Ukrainian wine journalism help winemakers to create and promote the “Ukrainian wine” brand? What do we need for this? We were looking for an answer to this, and the idea of creating the Association/Bureau for the Development of Wine and Brand Journalism arose.
All-Ukrainian tasting contest “Odessa Wine & Spirit Awards”
Some 65 Ukrainian companies (305 wine samples) took part in the competition.
The evaluation used a specialized tasting program of the English company Gustos Life, which uses blockchain technology (eliminates the possibility of changing the ratings of experts during the competition and after its completion).
A feature of the competition examination is a combination of the methodology of sensory analysis and the work of the jury, which consisted of 16 qualified and certified experts. The work of the jury could be watched live.
According to the results of the competition in the category of wines, 30 wines won gold medals, 49 wines won silver medals, while in the category of strong drinks there were seven gold medals and seven silver ones.
The winners of the competition are given the right to place the logo of the award on the product label.
A solemn ceremony of awarding the winners was held with the participation of national and regional media, wine and business communities.
“Best Riedel glass for Odessa Black variety”
This competitive project is aimed at promoting the brand “Ukrainian wine,” the formation of the image of Odessa Black wine as a business card of Ukrainian winemaking in the world – by analogy with Saperavi (Georgia), Feteasca (Moldova), Malbec (Argentina), Carmenere (Chile), Shiraz (Australia) and others.
Some 32 samples of wine from the autochthonous grape variety “Odessa Black” were submitted to the competition.
During the project, the best glass of the world-famous Riedel brand was officially chosen for the local wine “Odessa Black.” From nine variants of glasses, wine experts chose glass № 4 from the Performance collection.
The best wine from the “Odessa Black” variety was Aliberne Reserve Limited Edition, 2017, Gigineishvili Wine House. The Ukrainian native received the first official glass.
Tasting

– Circular tastings were held by 18 wine companies of Ukraine – partners and participants of Odessa Wine Week.
– Tasting on alternative aging under Bousinage technology was conducted by Wood International LLC.
The conference “Innovative tools in viticulture in the context of climate change” brought together leading winegrowers and oenologists from Ukraine, Moldova, France, Italy and the United States. This is a very important professional event for winegrowers, during which experts shared methods of ensuring sustainable viticulture, discussed current issues of the industry and ways to solve them.
OENOVITI International Network 2021 international symposium
The online symposium was attended by 18 scientists from 15 countries on five continents.
Topic: “Challenges in viticulture and oenology: geographical indications of wines and wine tourism, authenticity, innovation.”
OENOVITI International Network (OIN) is a unique international community of researchers in the field of viticulture and winemaking. Ukraine has been represented by the Odesa National Academy of Food Technologies in this prestigious scientific institution since 2015.

Participants in the discussion “Odesa cuisine – a tourist magnet of the region” talked about the phenomenon of Odesa cuisine, identified the top five dishes of local Odesa cuisine and offered ideas for the promotion of Odesa cuisine in the world.

At Odessa Wine Week, the exposure area was organized with the participation of Ukrainian wine companies and producers of goods, services and technologies related to winemaking.
All the main events of Odessa Wine Week took place in the halls of Premier Hotel Odesa and even in the open air in front of the hotel (the AGSOLCO Ukraine exposition).
For the general public, the highlight of the program was the project “Wine Flight” (“Air Tasting”), a horizontal flight with tasting the top five Ukrainian wines and culinary specialties of Odesa cuisine on board the UIA aircraft.
This is a joint project of Odessa Wine Week and UIA to promote the “Ukrainian wine” brand.
The air tasting was attended by 130 guests, the UIA team, sommelier Hanna-Yevhenia Yanchenko, brand chef of Le grand cafe Bristol Hotel 5* Odesa Stefan Whiteinadan and showman Kolya Serga.
The passengers tasted the best five Ukrainian wines according to the tasting contest “Odessa Wine & Spirit Awards,” which took place the day before as part of Odessa Wine Week:

The Odessa Wine Week project received strong partner support. Odessa Wine Week partners took part in the events, shared their experience and opportunities, and joined the organization of events. The fact that so many leading organizations and companies have joined the event is a very positive sign that gives faith in the good future of Ukrainian winemaking.
