The National Institute of Viticulture (Inavi) closes a historic year, in which it achieved that the country's winemaking activity was recognized as a living heritage, thanks to its legacy of immigration, work and innovation.

Former Minister of Agriculture, head of the N. I. Tkachev Agrocomplex Alexander Tkachev proposed increasing the share of Russian wines in trade and public catering to 70% within seven years. He sent a corresponding letter to President Vladimir Putin, Interfax writes, citing a source in the market. A source in one of the relevant departments told the agency that the letter contains a positive resolution from the head of state. The request to support Tkachev's proposal was addressed to Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev, heads of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry and Trade Oksana Lut and Anton Alikhanov. The Ministry of Industry and Trade has prepared a bill according to which the share of Russian wines in trade should be at least 20%. In November, a GOST was issued for wine lists of restaurants and cafes, which recommends increasing the share of Russian wines from the total number of wine names to 20%. According to the agency's source, Tkachev considers the figure of 20% "clearly insufficient." He proposed introducing a progressive scale for future time periods.

In 2025, the department will launch a rating of retail chains based on their work with these products. The growth in the quality of Russian wines in all categories over the year amounted to an average of 11.8%. This was reported in an interview with TASS by the head of Roskachestvo, Maxim Protasov. “I would like to cite one more figure on the eve of the New Year - more than 95% of the sparkling wines studied meet the advanced standard of Roskachestvo,” he said. The head of the department also noted that 59% of Russians positively assess the quality of Russian wines, over the year this figure has increased by 8%. As for the preferences of Russians, according to Protasov, in the last 1.5 years there has been a significant increase in the share of white wine. The expert emphasized that the quality of Russian wines was seriously affected by the project "Wine Guide of Russia", which is being implemented by Roskachestvo together with the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Agriculture.
