TIL Romania is the 6th largest wine producing country in Europe, and 13th largest in the world [1]. I live in California, and I've never heard of Romanian wine. Is the wine mostly consumed within Romania?

- dejv 10y agoEastern European wines suffered long years under Communist regime and planned agriculture. It was all about quantity, so the quality was not that important. Nowadays quality is rising up and wines from the region are great. International marketing and global wine trade is quite complex subject, but you can find quite a lot of Romanian wine in UK and Germany. In the US this niche of market is usually taken by wines from South America.
