The Government will discuss the Tokaj programme before the end of November, Minister of State heading the Prime Minister’s Office János Lázár said on Wednesday.

Decisions will be made on the further support of Tokaj foothill wineries as well as on the approval of a Tokaj world heritage programme, he said.

At the foundation stone laying ceremony of state-owned Tokaj Trading House Ltd.’s new production hall, realised with an investment of 1.5 billion forints, János Lázár stressed that the restructuring of viticulture and oenology should continue in the region.

The Government is fully committed to the production of quality wine and Tokaj and its historic wine region should be in the forefront when it comes to putting high quality wine on the table, the politician underlined.
