Russian wine producers claim that residents of the country may not worry about raising champagne prices before the New Year holidays. However, next year the cost of “sparkling” can grow significantly - this is all due to the low grape harvest in Europe this year.

“Yes, a price increase in 2019 is a likely situation,” Russian winemakers say. “Because we partially use foreign raw materials in our production, so the very production of sparkling wine will become more expensive.”

However, now, on the eve of the main winter holidays, you should not worry about the cost of sparkling wine - key champagne producers in Russia (Crimean wineries, as well as Krasnodar and Dagestan) do not see any prerequisites for increasing wine prices. And Crimean winegrowers, on the contrary, note that the cost of some bottles of sparkling wine will be reduced by the New Year as part of the pre-holiday campaigns. In particular, this information is confirmed at the Zolotaya Balka plant in Simferopol and at the New World company.

Similar stocks will also be held by the Kuban wineries. Winemakers from Dagestan, who today sell a bottle of champagne at a bargain wholesale price of 125 rubles, did not stand aside. “Before the holidays, the price of our products will be the same!” - assured in the Derbent factory of sparkling wines.
