Abstract
The work, titled "Winery Herzegovina," deals with the cultivation of vines, grape production, and winemaking in Herzegovina. It consists of six chapters. The first three chapters provide an abstract, introduction, and methodology. The fourth chapter delves into the history of wine production. The fifth chapter explores various types of wines and their classifications. The sixth chapter focuses on vineyard diseases and
their prevention. The landscape, climate, soil, and social factors in Herzegovina make it possible to cultivate high-quality grape varieties, resulting in the production of premium wines. Two native grape varieties, Žilavka and brandy, have been cultivated here for a long
time, producing yields and quality that rival anywhere else.
Stone Vineyards are unique in their transformation of a stone desert into an oasis of luxury and beauty. In the Herzegovina region, the most famous event is the annual grape harvesting days, celebrated in all areas involved in viticulture and winemaking. Drawing from their experiences, valuable specialized articles and manuals have been
written about vine cultivation and the prevention of various diseases associated with these topics. Mostar, the regional center of Herzegovina, hosts the Grape Harvest Days in Čitluk, where various types of wines are showcased each year. Additionally, a new publication, "Vintage Days," is released, summarizing research findings related to
grapevines. The development of the wine industry in Herzegovina is influenced by various factors, including economic, political, and social aspects.
