    ARMENIANS DRINK 5 TIMES MORE VODKA THAN WINE

    YEREVAN, APRIL 2. ARMINFO. People in Armenia drink more vodka than
    wine, says the president of the Union of Wine Makers of Armenia Avag
    Haroutyunyan.

    Per capital wine consumption in Armenia is 0.9 l while that of vodka
    is as much as 4.7 l. In Europe people drink 50 times more wine than in
    Armenia - 50 l a year per capita. Haroutyunyan explains that vodka is
    preferred for its lower price which points to low living standard in
    the country.

    Meanwhile in 2004 the wine production totalled 6.163 mln l against
    2.046 mln l in 2003. The wine exports totalled 211,800 l against
    166,423 l in 2003 while imports 60,000 l.
