    NAGORNO-KARABAKH WINE AND VODKA EXPLORE INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

    Regnum, Russia
    Nov 6 2006

    Wine and vodka production is one of the key directions of
    Nagorno-Karabakh's economy. REGNUM correspondent reports that the
    leaders in the sphere are Karabakh Gold and Artsakh Alco.

    Artsakh Alco produces wheat vodka, fruit vodkas (mulberry, grape,
    apricot) and brandy. Only 15% of the fruit vodkas are sold inside
    Nagorno-Karabakh. The rest is exported to Armenia, Russia, Ukraine,
    and the US. The company has opened grapes reception offices in some
    villages of Martuni district, which has become a good stimulus for
    local farmers. The company is also planning to help grape producers
    with fertilizers.

    Karabakh Gold produces almost 30 types of wines and vodkas. Last year
    the company processed 700 tons into wines. 2,000 tons of raw grapes
    were sold to Yerevan Brandy Company, while spirit equivalent to 2,300
    tons will be used in own brandy production, to be launched next year.

    The company's output is steadily growing - the volume of grape
    processing is growing by 500 tons a year. People actively help
    grape-growers to purchase necessary fertilizers.
