In the spring of 2025, Kabardino-Balkaria (KBR) will see the planting of over 600 hectares of new vineyards, supported by local authorities. Kazbek Kokov, the head of KBR, emphasized the region's favorable conditions for viticulture in the Prokhladnensky and Tersky districts and announced a funding program to boost the industry. This initiative aims to revive the winemaking sector, which has declined since the 1980s when vineyards spanned 4.6 thousand hectares. The Prokhladnensky District plans to plant 605 hectares, effectively doubling its current vineyard area.
