A vine and winemaking world conference began in Tokaj

The most prestigious event of the wine research sector began on Monday in Tokaj. The Terroir World Conference is held for the 10th time. This is the first time that a Central and Eastern European country hosts the event.

The term terroir comes from the Latin word terra, which means earth, soil and growing space. The role of soil and growing space has a priority importance in grape-growing and wine-making, but the concept of terroir say more to the consumers: it shows not only that area but also includes the climatic conditions, grape varieties, cultivation techniques, the winemaking method, and even the personality of the vine and winemaker as well.
