The first visit to Moldova, which German Chancellor Angela Merkel paid on August 22, on the invitation of Moldovan Prime Minister Vladimir Filat, ended up on Wednesday night, with an excursion to the Cricova wine cellars.
According to the Government’s press service, the high-ranking official visited the famous Moldovan wine cellars together with Prime Minister Vlad Filat. At the end of the visit, the leadership of the Cricova winery offered to the German Chancellor 460 bottles of collection wines, such as Cabernet, Codru, Traminer, Cahor, Marsala and Gratiesti.
Yet, the bottles will be kept in the Cricova wine cellars in a special niche. At the request of the German Chancellor, the bottles will be delivered to her any time. This practice has been used by Cricova for many years, being also adopted by many famous personalities, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has his niche with Moldovan wines there.
After the excursion in the underground wine emporium she put down a message in the book of honored guests and then left for Germany, from the Chisinau International Airport.
