As the prices of Bulgarian grapes have risen due to the ruined harvest this year, the local producers of brandy will brew the drink with Macedonian and Greek grapes.
The native grapes in the markets have jumped almost twice due to heavy rains and hail throughout almost the whole year in our country. Thus, a large part of this year's production was completely ruined and no grapes for wine and brandy remained.
This situation has forced some of the major producers of brandy, as well as many Bulgarians who brew alcohol for their own consumption, to buy imported grapes from Greece and Macedonia.
In the border areas it is sold en masse from imported fruit, and its prices are much lower than Bulgarian grapes.
The grapes from Prilep and Kavadarci are offered for 60-65 stotinki per kilogram, while the Kyustendil grapes cost BGN 1 and reach BGN 1.50 per kilogram.
The Greek villages around Xanthi and Komotini offer autumn fruit for between 40 and 50 stotinki per kilogram.
According to the law at the Gueshevo border checkpoint, up to 50 kilograms of grapes can be imported into our country for personal consumption. Importers of commercial grapes will be fined.
Due to the crisis in our country, however, the customs officers have released goods with 100 kilograms of grapes.
According to the data of the Ministry of Agriculture, this year our country has registered a 40% lower grape harvest. Last year the yield in our country was 250,000 tons, and this fall it is between 160,000 -170,000 tons.
90 tons of wine will be produced from them this year, while in 2013 170,000 tons were produced.
Winemakers from Targovishte go all the way to southern Bulgaria to buy grapes because their area was low in sugar. The stock exchanges had to count BGN 1.20-1.30 per kilogram, which is twice as much as last year's price.
Everyone agrees that this is the weakest year for business in decades. The rains caused the greatest damage to the red wine varieties Cabernet, Merlot and Shiroka Melnishka.
