Comparative study of some white romanian and cypriot wines

Abstract

The Republic of Cyprus, a country well known to the Romanian consumers for its special sweet wines Commandaria, produces also still wines that are much appreciated. The specific climatic conditions of Cyprus, subtropical climate - Mediterranean and semi-arid type with very mild winters (on the coast) and warm to hot summers, have a colossal influence on the obtained wines. Snow is possible only in the Troodos Mountains in the central part of the island. Rain occurs mainly in winter, with summer being generally dry.The aim of this study is to analyze from a physical-chemical point of view some typical Cypriot wines and, in parallel, some Romanian wines. The wines are either commercial or authentic samples (produced in the laboratory by applying classical technologies)
