Recent years have seen a revival in Bulgarian winemaking, London-based Decanter Magazine wrote in its March issue. There is an almost infectious enthusiasm for a new wave of high-quality wines, according to the story. It pointed out the intense inflow of foreign investments, and the role of EU cash through SAPARD. "Bulgaria is the new Eldorado for wine," a French winemaker was quoted as saying. Marc Dworkin is in charge of the Bessa Valley project at Pazardjik near Plovdiv. Decanter recalled that in its communist past Bulgaria was one of the four favourite sources of red wine. The attention that the country is getting now as a tourism hotspot should be an opportunity fir Bulgaria to get itself back on the wine map, the magazine suggests.
