Summary/Abstract: Turkey is considered to be one of the three countries together with Armenia and Georgia, pretending to be the land of wine. However, wine is not the first thing that could be associated with the idea about a country as Turkey. In spite of these facts, the Turkish wine producers consider that their production can privately reach its consumers. Turkish wines have a number of values, such as new taste, comparatively low prices, and exotic vine scenery. The sixth largest dessert wine producer in the world and probably the pre-original home of the vitis vinifera has already realized that accepting and developing of modern viticulture and enology allows the country to make good and even high-quality wines, such as Vincara, Urla, Selendi, Vinolus. The idea about developing wine tourism has also occurred and the Turkish state has ambitiously started to popularize it and the whole wine sector. In the middle 80's Turkey opened its economy to the world and the tourism development started, which contributed to the wine supply and consumption. The Turkish broadcasts predict that in 30-40 years, the wineries throughout the world will be a part of a gigantic industry or a World Wine League, in which all the participants will be related and will depend on each other.
