"The year was successful for the winemakers," said President of Armenian Winemakers Association Avag Harutyunyan on a meeting with journalists today, and noted that this year the winemakers have stored 135 thousand tons of grapes.
The speaker noted that the figures of this year were a little more than that of the last year when to 128-129 thousand tons were gathered, but less than 2007 and 2008, when 144 thousand tons were preserved.
"This year was unique, we had relatively high-quality grapes," A. Harutyunyan stressed.
According to him the average price of the grape this year was a little bit higher then it was last year.
