摘要：In the transition economies of central and eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, economic and institutional reforms had important impacts on wine production, consumption, prices, and policies. The paper discusses the transition changes in wine consumption and production, and how reforms have affected them. It analyzes the restructuring of the production system and the wine chain and the impacts of the changes on wine trade, and discusses the policy changes and the expected effects of integration of the central European countries into the EU, the so-called Eastern EU enlargement.
