Exports of cognac and wine to Russia on the rise
The Moldovan wine companies increased wine and cognac exports to Russia. Such an announcement was made by Russia’s chief sanitary inspector Ghennady Onishchenko
According to the Russian official, 29 wine businesses export products to Russia at present. Since the ban was lifted on October 6, Moldova exported 22.995 million liters of wine and 2.604 million liters of cognac to Russia. Onishchenko stressed that 42 Moldovan companies were allowed to submit samples of wine to Russian laboratories for examination. Only 32 companies of these used this right so far.
Russia’s food safety body Rospotrebnadzor said that besides the 29 wine companies, SA Imperial-Vin was authorized to export wine products to Russia according to the one-stop office principle. 
Russia halted the import of Moldovan wine products in March 2006 amid accusations that they contained pesticides and heavy metals. Exports were resumed in November 2007.
