The objective is to have the wine region once again join the small and exclusive club of premium wine regions in the world. An information database would be the basis to achieve success in development tenders and long-term schemes for producers under the arrangements of the “WINE REGION Tokaj Mountain National Programme”.

The government decided last year to give the Tokaj Wine Region of 27 villages the status of priority development region and to launch a national programme. In support of the first phase of the programme, the cabinet has approved the reshuffling of 33 billion forints (EUR 108m) worth of domestic and European Union funds. By the end of the decade, a total of 100 billion forints could be invested in the historic wine region.
