After a hard day's work, sometimes it’s just necessary to spend some pleasant moments with a glass of wine. In Europe, wine is a necessary attribute of a dining table. Our compatriots have relatively recently tasted the charms of this drink. Today, even Russian-made wines can be considered worthy competitors of Western counterparts. In addition, more budget. In this article we will consider the El Paso wine produced by the Sparkling Wines factory.
Can trust
ZAO Sparkling Wines has a long history - it is the oldest factory in St. Petersburg. It was founded in 1876 and initially produced beer, honey and porter. After the Bolsheviks nationalized the plant in 1919, its assortment was constantly changing, until in 1945 it was decided to make dessert wines and champagne specializing in it. The result of his work was the legendary “Soviet Champagne” - a favorite drink of millions of Russians. The pride of the plant later became another champagne - “Lev Golitsyn”.
Today, the sparkling wine factory products occupy one of the leading places in the domestic market. The secret is simple: the company successfully combines the preservation of traditions and the use of the latest technology. Upgraded equipment and reconstructed premises have significantly expanded the range.
