National Alcohol Traditions has won Prodexpo 2008, within the framework of which the most large-scale International Alcoholic Drinks Tasting Competition in CIS and Eastern Europe was held. The alcohol products by more than 400 producers from 50 different countries were exhibited and took part in the competition.

 

For the second time the tasting commission has given Prodexpo Star to Celsius Classic. Another Prodexpo Star was awarded to Celsius Light. This is almost a unique case when two drinks of the same producer are so highly appreciated.

 

 

‘I would like to draw your attention to the success of Ukrainian producers, - Alexander Zaitsev, the Competition Director and the Head of Alcoholic Drinks Tasting Commission, says. – Their  results are really outstanding. Two vodkas from Celsius taste line have received Stars for quality. It is also important to mention Hlibnyi Dar vodkas, having won three Gold Stars. These awards prove that NAT is on its way to developing into one of the industry’s leading companies both in Ukrainian and Russian markets.

 

Gold medals were awarded to Hlibnyi Dar Klasychna, Hlibnyi Dar Zhytnya, Hlibnyi Dar Ozyma for their harmonic taste. The prize for the supreme quality was received by Celsius Original, which is an exquisite kind of vodka, having its unique rich taste due to the addition of natural honey as one of the ingredients.

 

 

Koblevo wines were also appreciated by the experts from the tasting commission. Most popular in Ukraine semisweet white wine Zhosefina and also Marengo vermouth were awarded with Gold Medals. The performance of NAT products can undeniably be considered highly successful, especially in regard to the fact that there were competitors from leading winemaking countries, such as France, Chile, Georgia and many others. So thanks to National Alcohol Traditions Ukraine is now recognized as a winemaking country.

 

 

‘Participating in international tasting competitions is not only a great opportunity to make a statement about our company, but also a chance to demonstrate the stability in products quality’, Roman Vashkolup, the Managing Director of NAT states. ‘We have already taken part in tasting contests and received the highest appreciation and awards. We have always done our best to follow the originally developed formula and thoroughly control the raw materials we use. To ensure the increasing quality of our products we use the latest equipment and alcoholic drinks production technologies. This is why wines and vodkas produced by NAT are often found in the lists of the winners of international competitions and receive higher and higher appreciation from the consumers’.
