Macedonian wine

North Macedonia produces wine on some 22,400 hectares (55,000 acres) of vineyards,[1] and the production was 108,100 tonnes in 2008.

[2] There are also some additional 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) of vineyards dedicated to table grapes.

After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the wine production of the new country decreased dramatically, from 1.8 million hectoliters in the mid-1990s to 447,000 hl in 2002.

Stanušina Crna is a unique variety of grape of local origin from North Macedonia, capable of producing very high quality wines, very popular on domestic market, little known outside its native country.

White varieties include Smederevka, Welschriesling (usually referred to as Laški Rizling), Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc and Žilavka.
