Ethiopian Wine: Coming soon to a wine store near you

Wine drinkers around the world could soon be washing down their cheese with fine Ethiopian wine if Castel has its way. The French company, which owns a 120,000-hectare vineyard three hours from Addis Ababa, has plans to export half of its 750,000-thousand bottle production this year, according to a report by the Christian Science Monitor.

Ethiopia's major export remains to be coffee and the country is now world's third largest coffee producer, according to ICO. It now wants to diversify its exports and challenge South Africa and Chile in the wine industry.

Ethiopia to take over South Africa in Wine Export?
Amazing!!
This might be the fastest take over in agricultural export history.
Even though the French company takes most of the profit( just like the South African Whites control all the big agriculture)this has a big long term benefit in terms introducing the technology and transferring capital to Ethiopia.
The woyanes did a good job by wooing the greedy capital to to fly to Ethiopia for a free land and cheap labor.
The Chinese used the same strategy to woo the western capital by showing their cheap labor and big market.
I am sure this is one of a rare bright spots in the Woyane policy.

Addis Idiot

You idiot EPDRF does not produce wine it is the French company if you can read carefully.

The only thing EPDRF produces is ethic division and unsustainable empty hope to Tigray people that is going to come crashing down fast and hard on them....

Stop your nonsense here and relax and live like every other good citizen!

So when are we ever going to address the food issue? It's strange that we strive to export luxuries like flowers and wine while we fail to meet our basic need FOOD! The whole world knows that food prices are only going to go up and with the precarious nature of the world's economy is it wise to bet the country's future on exporting luxuries like this and dedicating valuable resources like land and water?

The title should have read FRENCH Wine!

Dan, it is really sad that you are trying to justify this!

Addis Zemen & John John, obviously, you guys are not literate enough to understand the content of this article so there is no surprise there.

God save Ethiopia from this brutal regime!

Ethiopia has had potential to grow grapes for more than thousand years... why must it now be a french company to get benefits.. already 80y ago there have been initiatives to grow more grapes and also for example plives for olive oil production.. but no this are of course all truely new discoveries by our super-government and yes big.scale investments are directly been conducted by big companies such as castle... wine grape production could be so ideal for small scale farmers in ET as it needs workforce the most and small landsize already beeing benificiary, even when hillsided like lots of ET plots are - but NO! we take large scale big investments with "voluntary" resettlement to "setlle" the needs of the whole Country...

GEDION NASHVILLE I LIKE WINE Food and wine are natural partners and, when they're compatible, they can be more than the sum of their parts. The problem is finding a perfect pairing. but can also choose the best food-and-wine combination.
To pick the right cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, red blend, red zinfandel, rosé, sauvignon blanc, shiraz, or sparkling wine, follow our Wine Therapy
A regular gathering of friends that usually includes drinking wine or other beverages with the higher purpose of debriefing on your day/week or recent exciting events. Often includes snacks or appetizers
Jesus changed water into wine. It even seems that Jesus drank wine on occasion (John 2:1-11; Matthew 26:29). In New Testament times, the water was not very ... wine-thirty
refers to a period of time or an occasion to drink and enjoy a glass (or bottle) of wine with good friends; a happy-hour. More loosely, it refers to a 24 hour clock in which it is aways time to enjoy some wine.
In other words, it's ALWAYS wine-thirty

It is interesting to note, in this report, the superiority complex and epitomy of hypocracy. When an Indian company farms grains in Ethiopia on 100, 000 hectar, they condemn it and label it "land grab" and "dispossesing Africans." But when a French company grows grapes in Ethiopia on 120,000 hectar, it is proclaimed as "Africa rising."

I am not shabia or Tegray for that matter. But obviously getting to trhe wrong conclusion and make wrong decision are shared value between you and the shabia you used to worship that brought you to capital city.

Now like I said behave like a good Ethiopian citizen if you don't like it you may go back to where you came from.

Adgi Banda ,the stupid guy I've ever seen on this website .What's the link between Wine production and your leba master .Once again Nada . The wine production started during the good Haile Regime and also developed of the then derf era .Guder wine is from Haile periode ,while Awash wine obtained International prize during the 80th .So what"s the hell your leba master brings to the country than once again leaving the factory to the French ,for Nothing ,by the way filling the pockets of his evil wife and the Tigre Mafiosis .Of course the wine produced in South Africa ,even Chili and many parts of the world are from French imported vineyards as "Cabernet" while the Eyhiopian onces are produced by the skills and know how of the Ethiopian Producers themselveses .Not only Awash Wine bottles are actually available in Eritrea smuggled and sent by the Azeb Gangs and bandas .Eri guys have ceased to produce "Melotti" beer but those who have the means can buy "Meta Beera" imported iligally from Ethiopia .Hailed and approved by stupid bandas and kersam leffafis as Adgi Bansa and Thuggy Co .

Comment from: EPRDF is Corrupt [Visitor]
I am so ashamed of Meles. He doesn’t represent me.

Woyane only produces propaganda not anything significant that requires knowledge of skill.

Their expertise is selling land and anything that is good for the country to foreigners for quick money.

Every time money is flashed on their face they salivate. Foreigners are the farmers, producers, exporters that comes around and sell the same products produced right in Ethiopia to Ethiopians. Ethiopians are treated as foreigners in their own country.

This the lazy, shameful, parasitic, disloyalty works of Woyane.

I will make sure that nobody buys this product since it doesn’t belong to Ethiopians. Woyane/EPRDF will be put to shame

There will be a boycott every where on Woyane and foreign farmers in Ethiopia product that put native Ethiopians out of home, work and land.

isnt it a fact that the booming in foreign investment is at least an evidence or a signal to an improvement in ethiopias infrastractural and social development???. i mean one can pull his hair and throw insults all day but he/she simply can not deny that. who in his right mind will invest in ethiopia had it not been relatively suitable for business even despite Tulu's threat to boycott...lol....so my point is put your hate and envy aside and be happy for ethiopia..
....

"Evidence of booming industry is hard to ignore: textile and leather manufacturing factories are popping up across the country, the roads leading out of the capital are lined with large-scale plantations growing roses or strawberries for export, and advertisements for trade shows are more ubiquitous than ever before."

****-
I am disappointed with some of the statment that this wine is a new thing in Ethiopia. I grew up drinking vino of varying qualty through the whole 60s up to now.They have many names I can't count them all.
What is more the best vino that I know used to come from Eritrea. Best by comparing wine in many other countries, Italy, USA. among them.

Some of them were , of course owned by Italians. I am disappointed not that it is being exported but not Ethiopian owned.

It is high time that we say "Agrun lebalageru!" Gambella included!!

This is one good news. It adds value to the agricultural produce and opens up many high and law tech jobs. Not only that it is environmental friendly.

Bely of Adwa

I can feel your naiveté . We will make sure Woyane looters are exposed and no body will buy their blood stained products until they start respecting the people of Ethiopia.

If the economy was booming as you prophet people’s life should have gotten better. They should have at least eaten meals three times a day as Meles promised in 1991 but the news is always about famine and starvation.

For us there is no improvement in anything but being pillaged by an irresponsible and vindictive blood sucking regime.

The only people stuffed up with wealth and food are those TPLF and EPRDF cadres. You must get some throws for you to come and defend a looter regime. EPRDF doesn’t represent Ethiopians.

What we are baring witness now is LAND and wealth of Ethiopia been retailed to foreigners. Ethiopian becoming foreigner servants in their own country.

If that is you kind of booming economy it is not for us but you, the Woyane hyenas and foreigners.
