MAIN Wine Europe Ukraine

The Ukraine wine regions include Odessa, Kherson, Nikolayev, Transcarpathia and Zaporozhy.

With 290 days of frost-free days the grapes are able to be harvested ripe and some overripe which adds natural sweetness to the wines.

Dryer cabernets such as Abrau and Miskhako and fortified wines such as the Black Doctor are well known and Artyomov sparkling wine made by the champagne method and bottled in the eastern Ukraine is also an excellent choice.

Kherson's Perlyna Stepu (Pearl of the Steppe) white dry wine also has been a popular choice for several decades.
