OREANDA-NEWS. December 20, 2011. The Russian sanitary service Rospotrebnadzor has authorized five Moldovan companies to export wines to the Russian market, according to a press release posted on the official site of the Russian sanitary authority.

The authorized enterprises are Sardrisvin, Kazayak Vin, Basarabia Lwin Invest, VINIA TRAIAN and Invinprom. One month ago, Rospotrebnadzor allowed the companies Cricova and Moldavskiy Standard (Moldovan standard) to export wine in bulk and raw material for brandy to be processed at Russian enterprises.

At present, at least 45 Moldovan enterprises market alcoholic beverages in Russia.

At the same time, the sanitary service warned that as two Moldovan enterprises were barred from marketing wine in Russia, it is considering the opportunity to erase them from the list of companies authorized to export to Russia in "single desk" regime.
