Macedonian wine
Wine making in Macedonia
North Macedonia produces wine on some 22,400 hectares (55,000 acres) of vineyards,[1] and the production was 108,100 tonnes in 2008.[2] There are also some additional 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) of vineyards dedicated to table grapes. Red wine dominates the Macedonian wine production, with around 80 per cent.[citation needed]
In contrast, within the European Union, "Macedonia" is a protected geographical indication (PGI) for wines produced in the Greek viticulture region of Macedonia.[3]
