Two months ago, Cricova winery, just outside of the Moldovan capital of Chisinau, was producing internationally acclaimed wines and inking major new export deals.
Now, the company is worrying about the sustainability of its business, with exports to three major partners cut off due to war, containers full of wine stuck in Ukraine and no ability to source supplies.
“We just started to have good competition on the international market with other big wine-producing countries,” Livia Sincumami, a representative for Cricova, says in an interview with Global News at the vineyard.
“Moldova is a wine country.… We have it in our blood, to grow vines.”
Once home to a burgeoning market of high-quality, low-priced wine, Moldova’s vintners say the war on its borders will have a disastrous knock-on effect on the price and availability of its products.
