Insights:
Since joining the EU, Romania is working on wine laws, with 3 quality categories in force: Vin de Masa (Table Wine), Vin cu Indicaţie Geografică (IGP) and Denumire de Origine Controlata (AOP/DOC equivalent). Cramele – cellars. In the UK Halewood represents various brands, such as Crabbies and various other gins, vodkas, etc., either as a producer and/or distributor. Recently (2017) they acquired Hawkshead Beer from the Lake District. Cramele – cellars. Dealurile Munteniei – Munteniei Hills (in Dealu Mare).
