Quality of gape harvested in 2009 acknowledged high
Primary wine-making enterprises based in Crimea, the Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson, and Zakarpatye regions have completed harvesting white grape Aligote, Feteasca, Sauvignon, Chardonnay and others. These regions are the main areas, where grape is grown in Ukraine. Red grape harvesting will continue until the end of September - early October 2009. Favourable weather conditions contributed to good sugar content in grape. Particularly, sugar degree in white grape from the Odessa region reaches 180-200 grams per cubic decimetre, in red grape 190-200 grams and more. Quality of grape harvested in 2009 can be characterised as high. A part of products has already been supplied to wine-making enterprises for industrial processing.
Ukrainian consumers prefer strong and dessert wine: Cahors wine, Bastardo, muscat, as well as red table wine. Strong and dessert wine account for 48% and 35% of consumption of grape wine respectively.
