AM: the quality of Hungarian wine is at European level

Hungarian wine is a high quality product at European level, and the government wants Hungarian wine-making companies to better compete with their Western counterparts – the Deputy Minister of State of the Ministry of Agriculture (AM) responsible for Rural Development Programs said in Kaposvár.

Viski József at the inter-branch symposium of the Vine and Wine Producers organized by the National Chamber of Agriculture and the County Government of Somogy County pointed out that the state secretariat, as part of the Rural Development Program, spent 40 billion HUF for winery subsidies in the past years, while providing 50 billion additional subsidies to winegrowing and food businesses from next January.
