Re: Excellent Winegrower
The Moldovans I know are VERY proud of their wine heritage. I know when ever I offered them Vodka they would always ask if I had wine instead. We must all remember that Moldova was and is in the wine belt and not the vodka belt. I don't see the soviets having "master of vodka" badges though unless of course some of the good folks here can prove me wrong but I would need 100 proof or higher!

Re: Excellent Winegrower
The careful observer will also notice that it is written in Romanian with cyrillic letters - an artificial language the Soviets created and called it "Moldovan" to further distance Moldovans from their ethnic Romanian heritage after the 1939 Moldotov-Ribbentrop land grab.
