At the event, President Maia Sandu handed the Grand Prize to the Purcari Winery for performances in the sector. ‘’I was happy, at the same time, to see, on the Great National Assembly Square, many small businesses and family wine cellars, through which the art to make wine is conveyed to the new generations. This is a sign that the wine-making industry from our country has future,’’ Maia Sandu added.
