вине страна франкииа виноджрад пти вердо

As is known, the table of King Lev Danylovych was already served wine, which was made from grapes that grew around Lviv. His wife was the Hungarian princess Constantia, so we can assume that she joined the culture of winemaking in the vicinity of Lviv. Over time, Lviv grew as a cultural and political center, and with it, its vineyards. Thus, vineyards grew on the slopes of the High Castle, in Lychakov, Kulparkov, and above all in Vynnyky. In 1785, the German colony of Weinbergen, which translates as Wine Mountains, was founded near Vinniki. German colonists, having settled near Lviv, began to engage in viticulture. The main grape variety they cultivated was Rhine Riesling, brought by them from their homeland.

The educational institution has developed and approved recipes for such fruit and berry wines: Blackcurrant sweet, Yoshta sweet, Sophia's Treasures, Sophia's stars Chudosad, Umanskoe velvet, Muscat aroma. Many of these wines received the highest awards, in particular, at the international Golden Griffin competition. By 1985, the area of vineyards in Ukraine amounted to 209 thousand hectares, and the gross grape harvest - 913 thousand tons. A modern processing base was created in Ukraine. As a result of the anti-alcohol campaign, significant losses were inflicted on the economy. Gross harvest of grapes decreased by 3-5 times. Fruit and berry winemaking was completely destroyed.

In general, German colonists, primarily Saxons, significantly contributed to the development of viticulture and winemaking in Ukraine. Such well-known wine-making centers as Bereghovo (Beregsas), Zalishchyki, Kamianets-Podilskyi had entire German quarters. In particular, 42 families of Saxon Germans were relocated to Kamianets-Podilskyi at the beginning of the 19th century, for the development of viticulture in the region. What can we say about Galicia, which the Germans began to colonize in 1773. In Lviv and its surroundings, wine was made not only from foreign grape varieties. One should also pay respect to indigenous (autochthonous) grape varieties, which were traditional for this region. Thus, the Dublyansky grape variety (derived from the name of the city of Dublyany) is a local variety of vitis vinifera. And it is quite possible that even the kings of Russia drank wine from it. Moreover, wines from this grape variety are gaining more and more popularity and take prizes at thematic competitions.
