We offer you an excursion dedicated to one of the regions of Moldova: "Gagauzia". This little-known region is located in the south of Moldova. It is populated by the Gagauz, a Turkish-speaking population largely Russified and historically close to the Turks of Anatolia. They thus speak a Turkish dialect (but also Russian) and they are Orthodox Christians (and not Muslims). Historically, the Turkish-speaking Christians of Bulgaria, the "Gök-oğuz" or Gagauz, were established here in 1812, among the Moldovans, when the Russian Empire annexed Bessarabia.

The Divin (brandy) is a wine spirit , produced by double distillation, according to the traditional method, from local raw material, the wine distillates are aged for at least 3 years in oak barrels. Its name “Divin” literally comes from the Romanian phrase “din vin”, which means “from wine”. “Divin” also means “divine” in Romanian, which is supported by the fact that, a large part of the distillates evaporate and therefore it is said that it goes to the sky to serve as a sacrifice for the quality obtained. Company S.A. "Barza Alba" ( The White Stork) is one of the largest divine producers in the Republic of Moldova and has begun its activity in 1944 as a Factory of Wine and Brandy in Balti. We will teach you how to distinguish the types, aromas, colours and tastes of the drinks.
