5. Wine at first years of Turkish republic There was a considerable amount of wine production before World War I and War for Independence in Turkey. But wars affected negatively the production, especially in Trace and Aegean regions. The production of all alcoholic beverages went under the control of government monopoly on 1927 with the exception of wine which allowed private production and development of vineyards. This was specifically done to develop and protect wine production. The only restriction which can also be called on today’s terms as “controlled wine regions-appelation controllée” was the permission of wine production on specific regions where wine grapes were producing. In 1928 government started to support wine producers by technical know-how and semi-financial supports. (There was also support for export tax exemptions and support fee/kg) M.Emile Bouffart was one of the first pionneering consultants who has evaluated wines and wine regions in Turkey and where to have wineries. • • • •

6. Wine at first years of Turkish republic In 1946 there were 28 small sized wineries all around Turkey exploring the potential quality of wine production with different varieties and terroirs under Government Monopoly. Marcel Biron is also one of the consultants working for Government Monopole and identifying different wine regions and wines in Turkey (1937-1947) 1950’s government initiated french grape varieties plantation on Aegean and Trace regions (Semillon, Clairette, Sylvaner, Gamay, Cinsaut, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon are among the varieties planted and explored during these dates) The decrease of quality has started with the non-implementation of this “controlled wine regions” regulation as well as political changes in 1960’s. Private producers stayed in the market during all this period with relatively small sizes.. • • • • •

7. Current Situation With its annual yield of 70-80 million liters of wine, Turkey accounts for only a quarter of a percent of global wine production • • There is no doubt that the significance of Turkey’s output is directly linked to low domestic demand. Turkish people favour raki and beer; they consume at most only one liter of wine per capita annually. Compared with France’s 54, Spain’s 35 and Greece’s 30 litres per capita. •
