Data Points

Mileștii Mici, a Moldovan wine producer situated in the Mileștii Mici commune, operates the State Enterprise Quality Wines Industrial Complex. Established in 1969, it functions as a storage and aging facility for premium wines. The underground galleries stretch to the borders of Chişinău, maintaining stable humidity (85–95%) and temperature (12–14 °C [54–57 °F]) year-round. Certain red wines mature here for decades, benefiting from these ideal conditions. The expansive cellars cover 200 kilometers (120 mi), with 55 kilometers (34 mi) currently in use. In August 2005, Mileștii Mici entered the Guinness World Records for having the world's largest wine collection, totaling nearly 2 million bottles. Over 70% of the stored wines are red, 20% white, and around 10% dessert wines. Some of the most prized bottles, valued at €480 each, were crafted in 1973–74 and are exclusively exported to Japan. Mileștii Mici exports its wines to several countries, including Sweden, Japan, the USA, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, Poland, Greece, Germany, Denmark, Finland, and China. The collection features wines from various years, starting with the 1969 vintage, made from grape varieties such as Pinot, Traminer, Muscat, Riesling, Dnestrovscoie, Milestscoie, Codru, Negru de Purcari, Trandafirul Moldovei, Auriu, and Cahor-Ciumai.
