Romania is a historic wine-producing nation in southeastern Europe, with viticulture shaped by the Carpathian Mountains, the Danube, the Black Sea, and a long cultural connection to grape growing. Its main wine regions include Moldova, Muntenia-Oltenia, Transylvania, Dobrogea, Banat, and Crișana-Maramureș, each reflecting different levels of continental, maritime, and mountain influence.
The country produces wine from both international grapes and important native varieties such as Fetească Neagră, Fetească Albă, Fetească Regală, Tămâioasă Românească, and Grasă de Cotnari. Romania’s modern importance rests in its combination of ancient wine heritage, large vineyard area, and renewed focus on indigenous varieties with clearer regional identity.
