Today good wine cannot be produced in Armenia, because grape-grower and wine producers are different people,- said Alik Julikyan, who has hisown grape vineyard and is in wine production for many years.
“The one wants to buy good quality grapes by a cheap price, and the other do not want to give his good watered quality grapes so cheap, as a result it does not work out, because the interests of both do not coincide.” he said and added that the wine producers and farmers need to have a specific transaction.
He also noted that there is potential but today’s businessman think only about their property, they use old tools for wine production and do not want to deal with it seriously, “If they treat it seriously we will keep our sun and soil.”
Alik Julikyan assures from his own experience that the quality of Armenian wine is not less than the Georgian one.
He mentioned that since 2008 viticulture stepped back in the area, which is caused by the fact that Georgia has banned importing grapes from Armenia.
