From Poland to Japan. How vintners are putting Ukraine back on world wine map

The occupation of Crimea in 2014 caused irreparable losses to the Ukrainian wine industry, and a full-scale Russian attack in 2022, occupation, and constant shelling of key wine regions could have caused a catastrophic decline.

However, even in times of war, the trend for Ukrainian wine is growing steadily. Both Ukrainians and foreign connoisseurs have begun to take a closer look at domestic wines. You can increasingly find bottles of Made in Ukraine beverages in supermarkets in the Baltic states, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.

Ukrainian wines win prestigious awards, and winemakers participate in global events. For example, this year, Ukraine is represented for the first time at Wine Paris and Vinexpo Paris, which is taking place these days.
