Proizvodnja vina u svetu i putevi vina u republici Srbiji

Abstract

Wine production is undertaken on all the continents of the world. From the regional perspective, Europe boasts the highest production volume of wine, accounting for more than half of the world’s wine production. Italy, France and Spain are the largest wine-producing countries in Europe. Most European countries, as well as the countries neighbouring Serbia, have succeeded in promoting and developing wine tourism by establishing so-called wine routes such as Vinske ceste in Slovenia and Croatia, Wine strasse in Germany and Austria, Bortúrák in Hungary, etc. Favourable features characteristic of Serbia (such as the geographical and traffic position, biodiversity, flora and fauna, climate, anthropogenic factors, cultural and historical heritage, various folk customs, festivities, etc.) provide a solid base for enhancing wine tourism. Wine tourism has the potential to become one of the Serbian brands. The establishment of “wine routes” across the country is an ambitious and responsible enterprise which surpasses the ability of individuals. The country has pledged to grant loans to support wine tourism, whereas tourist organisations are building “wine maps” in order to introduce tourists to the top eight wine-producing regions of Serbia, i.e. the Wine Routes of Palić, Fruška Gora, Vršac, Smederevo, Topola, Negotin, Knjaževac and Župa.
