A bit of history
In the days of the former Soviet Union, many cognacs were produced, which was almost impossible to distinguish, since they all contained in their name an addition in the form of the phrase “3 stars” or “5 stars”. To restore order, the Government of the country instructed each republic to develop its own branded drink. So in 1978 appeared cognac "White Stork". It was first produced at a factory in the city of Balti. Then its release was established by the enterprises of Calarasi, Tiraspol and Chisinau. Over time, this brand has become a real calling card of Moldova.
The unusual name of the brand is associated with an old folk legend. They say that in the 18th century, during the siege of one of the Moldavian fortresses, the defenders almost ended their provisions. The forces of the warriors were running out. At this time, a flock of storks suddenly appeared in the sky, holding grapes in their beaks. Flew up to the besieged fortress, they began to throw them down. The warriors, inspired by this spectacle, found strength in themselves and repelled the onslaught of the enemy. So an old legend gave the name to a new product. In turn, the brandy "White Stork" eventually glorified his native Moldova to the whole world.

Customer reviews
Many lovers of quality strong drinks are familiar with the White Stork cognac. Reviews about this product in most cases are usually positive. Being the representative of the most famous Moldovan brand, he is considered a worthy acquisition.
Drinks of this brand are always distinguished by excellent taste and noble aroma. They do not have an unpleasant bitter note of alcohol, which is characteristic of lower-quality goods. In addition, in reasonable doses, the drink is very well perceived by the body, without leaving the next morning a feeling of heaviness and discomfort. But the popularity of the famous brand has led to the fact that counterfeit products under the same name began to appear on sale. In most cases, enterprises in Ukraine and Bulgaria were engaged in its production. This negatively affected public opinion, which, in fact, is a fundamental factor affecting sales.
Many governments are fighting fiercely with counterfeiters. As a result, buyers get the opportunity to purchase a truly high-quality product that meets its level in all the declared characteristics and indicators.
