"About 30,000 hectares of new, well-designed vineyards have been planted since 2007. This represents almost a third of the country’s total area planted with wine-friendly Vitis vinifera vines. According to some estimates, no fewer than 120 new wineries came onstream in Romania last year alone. Romanians have always been keen wine drinkers and most smallholdings have a few vines. What is new is that a fragile domestic market has emerged for wines with real aspirations to quality and high prices (much higher than the wines would command abroad). The Romanian wine industry will almost certainly have to export to thrive but has yet to learn the art of co-operation."
