From the Paper:
"Vinexport Rt. (the "Company") is a privately owned company, with headquarters in Budapest. The Company was formed in 1995 with an acquisition of a sparkling wine factory from a state owned enterprise. The Company is a manufacturer of sparkling wine, carbonated wine, alcohol-free sparkling wine, vermouth and wine, with fruit juice production possibilities. They also offer bottling of in-house and other products and warehouse services. The Company is the third largest producer of alcoholic and alcohol-free sparkling wine in Hungary."

Romanian wine is the country's most visible consumer export, with total annual sales of 25 million liters. Ziad Dajani, who is coordinating the boycott, has said that one company, Vinexport, has been specifically targeted because "they are in a unique position to represent to the government the impact of international outrage at the country's treatment of gays, lesbians and bisexuals." Vinexport accounts for 80 percent of all wine exports from Romania. ILGA plans to focus the boycott campaign in the main export markets of Germany, the United Kingdom, the USA, Japan, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Canada, Holland, Israel, Australia, Switzerland, Poland and Norway.

Our philosophy is that wine-making is a natural process best managed with minimum intervention, but requiring the attention and dedication of a winemaker. While we use a relatively high level of hand labor during the wine-making processes, we also make extensive use of modern laboratory equipment and techniques to monitor the progress of each wine through all stages of the wine-making process. All of our wineries are operated under the overall supervision of our Chief Executive Officer. However, each winery has its own general manager who is always an experienced winemaker.

The principal raw materials used by us are grapes, oak barrels, glass, and cork. We manufacture our own oak barrels with wood imported from Russia. The cork we use is produced and manufactured in Portugal, which is the primary cork-producing country in the world. Glass is purchased from a variety of different sources according to each winery's specific needs. We purchase all of our grape requirements from independent growers in Moldova.

Our wines are stored in stainless and emal steel containers for up to a year, or until it is bottled and sold. Our higher quality wines, about 3-4% of our total wine sales, are aged primarily in new and used oak barrels before they are bottled. Generally, white wines are aged for between six and nine months, and red wines for between nine and eighteen months, after harvest. The wine is then bottled and stored for further aging.

Besides Cotnari there are about 12 regions in Moldavia, where different vines are grown, but generally one says, that the home of white wine is in the centre and the red wine in the south and west. Most important areas are the Iasi, Panciu, Focsani (which can be subdivided into Cotesti, Odobesti and Nicoresti), Vrancea, Galati and Vaslui where the following grapes and wines can be found and enjoyed:

·   &nb 10510c210k sp;   &nb 10510c210k sp; Feteasca: Old Romanian variety of white grape with a muscat-like taste.

·   &nb 10510c210k sp;   &nb 10510c210k sp; Feteasca Alba: wines are considered to be the plainer solution of Feteasca, while they are dry or semi-dry, having a balanced content of alcohol (11.5 to 12% by volume), acidity and sugar, and feature a natural finesse. At Cotnari, the Feteasca Alba yields natural semi-sweet and sweet wines produced by separate or assorted vinification. Often used for sparkling wines and is compared to the Hungarian Leányka.
Grown in: most vineyards, especially in Moldavia (Iasi).

·   &nb 10510c210k sp;   &nb 10510c210k sp; Feteasca Regala: wines range from table to high quality ones. The wines have an alcoholic content of 10.5 to 11.5% by volume. They are dry, fresh and have high acidity and a specific flavour. Originated from a crossing of the Feteasca Alba and the Furmint Grape. Because of the high acidity it is very suitable for sparkling wine.
Grown in: most vineyards, while originally from Transylvania.

·   &nb 10510c210k sp;   &nb 10510c210k sp; Feteasca Neagra: These red versions of Feteasca are dry or semi-dry (sugar content ranging between 6 and 12 grams per litre), have an alcohol content of 12 to 12.5% by volume, a deep colour with ruby shades, specific flavour resembling the black currant and at the same time are robust and smooth, getting richer by ageing.
Grown in: several viticulture areas of central and southern Moldavia (Vrancea, Galati, Vaslui)

·   &nb 10510c210k sp;   &nb 10510c210k sp; Grasa de Cotnari: This grape belongs to the old Cotnari vineyard, where it has been grown since the days of Stephen the Great. It is picked when it shrivels and is attacked by botrytis cinerea. Furthermore, it is related to the Hungarian Furmint grape. The sugar content is high: over 240 grams per litre - the reason for the name, which means "fat".

·   &nb 10510c210k sp;   &nb 10510c210k sp; Babeasca Neagra: Traditional red wine with acidity and slight taste of clove. Babeasca means "Grandma's grape"
Grown in: Moldavia (Nicoresti, Odobesti, Cotesti, Panciu, as well as other areas located in the south of this viticulture zone).

·   &nb 10510c210k sp;   &nb 10510c210k sp; Tamâioasa Româneasca: It is used for the production of high quality aromatic wines. Tamâioasa Româneasca wines are naturally sweet or semi-sweet wines with an alcohol content of 12 to 12.5% by volume and an imposing originality offered by their yellow-golden colour, complex flavour resembling field flowers and honey, persistent rich taste where alcohol, sugar and acidity reach a perfect harmony. Tamâioasa is usually released for sale as an aged wine when the "frankincense" character of the fruit is overlaid by a developed, honeyed bouquet.
Grown in: most vineyards
Furthermore the white burgundy grape Aligoté and the special Muscat-Ottonel from Iasi, the Merlot and Pinot Noir from Focsani would be more than happy to be tried as well as Saperavi and Rkatsiteli.
Foreign classical wines which are grown in Moldavia as well are Italian Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Rose Traminer as white and Cabernet Sauvignon as red wines.
