    ARMENIAN BRANDY PRODUCTION DROPPED IN 2009

    Last year, 9.97 million litres of brandy was produced in the country -
    38.4% less than in 2008, according to Armenia's National Statistical
    Service.

    Instead, wine production increased during the same period by 30.8%,
    constituting a total of 4.4 million litres per year. In 2009,
    local vodka and vodka-liqueur production rose by 7.7% to about 13.15
    million litres. Also, beer production saw a 2.8% increase - to 10.8
    million litres.

    Experts say the reduction in Armenian brandy production last year
    is due to a significant drop in demand in the Armenian brandy's
    main markets - Russia and Ukraine - and was caused by the global
    financial crisis.

    In 2009, Armenian mineral water sector also saw a reduction due to
    lack of demand in foreign markets. Last year, mineral water production
    dropped 29.1% to 25.4 million litres.
