Uzbek winemaking
Winemaking in Uzbekistan has a very deep history. It is believed that the first grapes were brought here 6 thousand years ago. Even then, there was a high technology of winemaking and grape cultivation in Central Asia.
The famous Venetian traveler of the Middle Ages, Marco Polo, who traveled through Central Asia, wrote in his diary:
"Samarkand, Bukhara and other magnificent cities are places decorated with magnificent gardens and vineyards. I tried the local wine. This wine was at least a dozen years old, and it was amazing for its excellent quality..."
In 1927, the famous winemaker, Professor M. A. Khovrenko, came to Uzbekistan. He was the first in our country to develop technical methods for the production of fine wines such as Gulyakandoz, Shirin, Liqueur Cabernet, Aleatico, Uzbekistan and Farkhod, and organized the opening of the first winery for their production.
