French and Italian winemakers buy large quantities of grapes from this year's harvest in Bulgaria. However, this threatens the production of Bulgarian winemakers.
A real boom in the demand for Bulgarian grapes is observed after the country's participation in a tasting prepared by the World Wine Organization in Paris.
Now French and Italian emissaries are touring our country and offering an average of 50 euros a cent per kilogram of wine grapes.
Most of the native vine growers sell at such a price, as it is almost twice higher than the purchase prices of grapes in the wholesale markets in our country. The values per kilogram of grapes are around BGN 0.45, according to an inspection of the stock exchanges.
Prices have risen since last week, after farmers from Strandzha threatened to protest, but not to sell their crops at BGN 0.30 per kilogram.
However, if the negotiations with foreign traders continue at the same pace as before, it is very likely that wine producers in Bulgaria will be left without enough raw materials.
Last year the grape harvest was poor and the winemakers in our country failed to fill their warehouses. In 2014, even the largest shortage of grapes in 30 years was registered.
But this year's harvest is rich and high quality. The grapes have a high sugar content, which indicates that the wine produced will also be of high quality.
Bulgarian wines are much better than French ones, but we will never officially recognize it - says the director of the Executive Agency for Vine and Wine Krassimir Koev.
At the last World Tasting Wine World Cup in Italy, Bulgarian wines received 150 gold medals. The tasting was blind because the taster did not know either the producer or where the grapes came from.
Koev adds that in the purchase of grapes in our country there are no more mutren structures that threaten the vine growers and buy their products for nothing.
