Moldova’s wine industry, one of the country’s oldest and most significant economic sectors, continues to gain international recognition. In 2026, Moldovan wineries have expanded exports to Western Europe, North America, and Asia.
The National Wine Office reports steady growth in premium wine production, particularly in indigenous grape varieties such as Fetească Neagră and Rară Neagră. The annual National Wine Day festival in Chișinău attracted thousands of international visitors, boosting tourism revenues.
After losing parts of the Russian market years ago, producers successfully diversified export destinations. The EU remains Moldova’s largest wine export market, accounting for over half of total shipments.
Sustainability has also become a focus, with vineyards increasingly adopting environmentally friendly practices and modern production technologies.
Industry leaders believe that branding and quality certification will be key to maintaining competitiveness in global markets.
