Diaspora-Armenian winemaker Vahe Keushguerian plans to open a sparkling wine factory in Khachik border village, in Vayots Dzor Province of Armenia.
Keushguerian told Armenian News-NEWS.am that he plans to open this factory in the coming year.
His Keush company has been producing wine in capital city Yerevan. But, now, he wishes to produce it where the needed grape is collected, so that he would not have to transport it all the way to Yerevan.
The Khachik village prefect has allocated for this factory the building of a warehouse not far from the village.
They wish to work on location starting from next year, and prepare wine material for champagne.
“Thus, Armenia could become the country that produces the world’s highest mountainous classic champagne,” added Vahe Keushguerian.
Khachik village is located 1,800 to 1,850 meters above sea level.
