Wine Research Institute

Wine production is one of the most difficult and demanding occupations in the world. Wines produced with primitive methods in the past are now produced using modern technologies.

Wine has been one of the most valued drinks since ancient times. It is known that in the years before Christ, different cultures used wine widely in celebrations and ceremonies. It is estimated that wine production was first realized in the Mid dle East and Anatolian Geography. Today, we see that wine produc tion in Turkey is not as common as it used to be. Although sufficiently large vineyard areas, climate and soils are very suitable for viticulture, we see that this rate in winemaking is low.

The production of wine and grape varieties is mostly done in the Tekirdağ (Marmara) Region, in the Şarköy District. The factories of many different brands are locat ed in these districts. Doluca, Gülor, Kutman, Bağcı, Latif Aral Factories in Mürefte Village; are the leading wine producers. Since the lands provide suitable conditions, there are many mon asteries and the wine produced in these monasteries is exempt from tax are some of the reasons for the development of winemak ing in the region.

Known history BC. The city of Mürefte, which dates back to the Odrysians, the rulers of Thrace in the 4th century, was looted and changed hands many times throughout histo ry, and although it was badly damaged in the Great Ganos fire of 1912, it was able to rise from its ashes. Its name means “thousand and one flowers” and it contains many ecological beauties.

Today, this city is famous for its wine or tiles, and has a history of exporting wine and tiles to many cities of the world for years.

Making Mürefte Mürefte; despite everything, it can cope with even analysis

One of the reasons for Mürefte’s loss of importance is the insufficient development and use of potential resources and history. I aimed to use these riches to revitalize the city and in addition to this, I aimed to build a wine research institute. This will increase the satisfaction and quality of experience of locals and tourists.
