24 Апрель'2009

The tasting of brandy products, held by representatives of the state Ukrvinprom corporation, has been market by one more success of Ukrainian brandy-makers. The 3-star “Kahovskiy VS” and 5-star “Georgievskiy” brandies were recognized best in their nominations, having left behind some of the imported brands.
In this tasting, which took place in JSC Tavria’s tasting hall, 75 samples of brandies from Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Moldova and France were represented, each brand available in Ukrainian retail. The winner in each nomination was defined by the score from expert jury’s “blind” tasting. The expert jury was formed by Ukrvinprom’s Central Tasting Committee.
As noted later by the deputy chairman of the Central Tasting Committee Mr. Vladimir Furkevich, the highest grade in “3-star” nomination was given to “Kahovskiy VS” brandy of TM Tavria. In “4-star” nomination, the famous French Remy Martin VSOP has won the highest award. In “5-star” nomination, JSC Tavria’s “Georgievskiy” brandy gained the jury’s affection. Among the vintage and collection brandies, the awards were given to the products of JSC Tavria, Uzhgorod Cognac Factory and Koktebel.
The Central Tasting Committee of Ukrvinprom was formed in 2007. It is a team of more than 40 experienced tasters, all of whom have significant tasting background and special education. The tastings held by the Committee are always “blind”, anonymous and portrayed by mass media, which excludes the possibility of lobbying the results.
In Mr. Furkevich’s opinion, the need for such independent Committee is more than crucial in the conditions of present-day Ukrainian alcohol market. On the store shelves throughout Ukraine, counterfeit products are more than usual. To stop this tendency of spreading of low-quality alcohol and protect both the consumer and the devoted winemaker, this Committee was inaugurated.
