Turkish wine is not well known worldwide, however it had a key role to play in wine growing’s early history, and was probably one of the earliest regions known to have been producing wine anywhere in the world. It has been estimated that Turkey calls itself home to around 600 to 1200 indigenous vitis vinifera varieties, although under 60 are commercially grown. As Turkey has dedicated more than 1,500,000 acres to vineyards, it is also the 4 th biggest grape producer around the globe. The country’s first ever commercial winery was not established until the 1920s when the first president of Turkey set it up. Today, around 300,000 hl of wine is produced in total in Turkey. I’ve been hearing about this wine since my arrival in Turkey almost 4 years ago. In the eighties, this wine was considered as one of the best. Imagine what the level was at that time! And a lot of people are still attached to it with this kind of nostalgia. Hopefully, there are now a lot of beautiful Turkish wines (among them some are also made by Kavaklidere).

Sakha, one of the major peoples of eastern Siberia, numbering some 380,000 in the late 20th century. In the 17th century they inhabited a limited area on the middle Lena River, but in modern times they expanded throughout Sakha republic (Yakutia) in far northeastern Russia. They speak a Turkic language. The Sakha are thought to be an admixture of migrants from the Lake Baikal region with the aborigines of the Lena—probably mostly Evenk (Evenki), who have contributed much to their culture. Other evidence, however, points to a southern ancestry related to the Turkic-speaking tribes of the steppe and the Altai Mountains.
