Wines of Russia

Wine production in Russia dates back centuries in regions such as the Caucasus, Crimea, and Krasnodar. The industry expanded significantly during the Soviet era with large-scale plantings, though quality suffered under collectivization. Modern Russian winemaking has seen a revival, particularly in the Krasnodar region and along the Black Sea coast, producing wines from Rkatsiteli, Saperavi, and international varieties.
