A bit of history

In the days of the former Soviet Union, many cognacs were produced, which it was almost impossible to distinguish, since they all contained in their name an addition in the form of the phrase "3 stars" or "5 stars". To restore order, the Government of the country has instructed each republic to develop its own branded drink. So in 1978 came the cognac "White Stork". It was first produced at a factory in the city of Beltsy. Then its enterprises were established by the enterprises of Kalarash, Tiraspol and Chisinau. Over time, this trademark has become a true visiting card of Moldova.

The unusual name of the brand is associated with the ancient folk legend. They say that in the 18th century, during the siege of one of the Moldovan fortresses, the defenders had almost finished provisions. The forces of the soldiers were running out. At that time, a flock of storks unexpectedly appeared in the sky, which held grapes in their beaks. Coming up to the besieged fortress, they began to throw them down. The warriors, inspired by this spectacle, found strength in themselves and repulsed the onslaught of the enemy. So the old legend gave the name to the new product. In turn, cognac "White Stork" eventually glorified native Moldova to the whole world.
