The festival's opening was attended by Andrian Digolean, the State Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry. He highlighted the significance of Moldovan wine as a vital part of the national identity.
“Moldovan wine is an expression of our identity. In recent years, Moldovan wines have won medals at major international competitions and have been praised by experts worldwide. Today, these wines are brought back to Bucharest for you to discover and enjoy,” he stated.
