Once it has been the Best LJ in Montreal

Она права, молдавские вина имеют хорошую репутацию и дёшевы. У нас, правда, не купить, есть только венгерское и болгарское, да и всего немного дешевле (у нас гоударство берёт чуть ли не 50% налога).

А молдаване к королевскому британскому столу поставляют с начала прошлого века.

In the heart of this underworld temple to the grape lies the so-called "Golden Collection": two million bottles, including a distinctively fruity red that Moldovans claim is a favourite of the British royal family. The winemakers at Milestii Mici say they have made several shipments of their 1986 Negru de Purcari to royalty. On the walls of one tasting room, a framed photograph of Prince Michael of Kent on a visit seems to bear them out.

Andrei Manciu, Milestii Mici's commercial director, claimed that "the Queen loves the Purcari" as he cradled a dust-covered bottle of the '86 vintage, which costs about £16. But a Buckingham Palace spokesman said yesterday that the royal household had received an unordered consignment of Moldovan wine out of the blue two weeks ago, which it considered to be a "gift".
