Summary/Abstract: Bulgaria is not only a country with long-standing traditions in the winegrowing and wine-producing aspects of the wine industry, but this is also a country with remarkable current and future prospects in the winemaking in Europe. As a proof to this statement we can present the fact that at the last 25th wine competition of Mondial du Bruxelles for 2018, Bulgaria, for the third time in a row, won the highest distinction - the Grand Gold Medal and in addition to that, it altogether won 44 medals, of which 15 gold medals and 28 silver medals. Thirty of the medals are awarded for red wine (68%), 10 for rosé and four for white wine (9%). The chief goal of this report is to prove that in the Northwest region, which is part of the North and the East wine-producing regions, there are favorable conditions which allow purposeful strategies to be applied in order to develop the wine-growing and the wine-producing industry in this area.
