YEREVAN.- Armenia is producing about 8,000 types of wine but is
usually reported only about several types, chairman of Areni wine
festival said.
Speaking on the occasion of wine festival in Armenia, Nune Manukyan
said insufficient promotion of the Armenian wine prevents its spreading
even in Armenia.
One of the key problems is certification of wines, said expert from
the National Institute of Standards Karo Hakobyan. "Only 2-3 wine and
brandy producers have ISO certification," he added. Certification is
very important for exports and quality of the products.
The only agency responsible for giving VI 1 certificates, necessary
for exporting goods to the EU, is the National Institute of Standards
at Armenia's Ministry of Economy.
