Ukraine has rejoined the International Organization of Viticulture and Winemaking (IVOV), a body representing 85% of the global wine industry, as it looks towards becoming a member of the European Union. The country's wine has found success in Japan, with one businessman importing it to the country last year. The industry has suffered due to the war, but this association could help restore its potential. The Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers has introduced a bill on viticulture in the Verkhovna Rada, and there has been a significant decrease in alcohol import in the country over the past year.
