Abstract

The paper presents an overview of the viticulture in Romania, analysing the areas under vine, in a structural approach, and the yields and the production of grapes. The data regarding the lands under vines, yields and productions of grapes have been collected from the National Institute of Statistics. The main results show that Romania has high potential for wine production; 1.3% of the agricultural areas are cultivated with vineyards, but it has structural problems. Among the 189,000 ha of vines, 48% are hybrids, which produce wines forbidden to be traded on the market. Those areas belong to small exploitations that produce for self-consumption, while bigger exploitations cultivate grafted vineyards that produce noble assortments of wine.
