Wine exports from Armenia increased 53 percent in the first six months
of 2010 compared to the previous year.
Two thirds of the exported wine went to the former Soviet countries,
to the U.S. and the European Union, the chairman of the Union
of Winemakers of Armenia Avag Harutyunyan said. According to
Harutyunyan, 95 percent of the exported Armenian wine is consumed by
representatives of the Armenian Diaspora who just "feel nostalgic,"
local news reported. He also said that this allegiance is not only
helpful. "Thus, Armenian manufacturers are not interested in raising
wine quality." (bmg)
