Rector of KubSAU A.I. Trubilin, who is supporting the Russian Wines Competition, underlined: “The development of the winemaking industry is impossible without competent personnel. KubSAU has traditionally paid special attention to this issue. We train specialists in the field of viticulture, while our university scientists advise large wineries and are developing new grape varieties. This is of strategic importance for the Krasnodar region and for the country as a whole. I am convinced that the professional competition Russian Wines Competition 2020 will give a whole new impetus to the industry’s development. Such events not only increase the prestige of Russian wine but also boost its credibility on the international market.”
I would like to thank the rector Trubilin Alexander Ivanovich for the privilege of the support of the Kuban State Agrarian University.
