Bulgaria is experiencing a decrease in grape production due to drought and lack of irrigation, which is driving up costs and leading to higher wage demands in the wine industry. Despite these challenges, the country has enough wine from older harvests to meet market demand. There is a shortage of white wine, however, and the country is making up for it with imports. Bulgarian wine is of high quality and the country receives significant support from the state for wine development. The trend in Bulgaria is to consume rosé wine the most, followed by white, and red wine is last.
