The National Office of Vine and Wine (ONVV) is a public institution, organised via a public-private policy implementation partnership in the wine industry.

The institution was designed to conform with the model of similar wine-growing institutions in the world’s major wine-producing countries. The ONVV was established based on the Government Decision no. 725 of September 16, 2013 and implementation of sectoral policies started in April 2014.

The establishment of ONVV was a decisive step taken by the public and private sector in light of the implementation of changes in wine sector legislation, the normative framework and of the promotion of the country’s wine brand: “Wine of Moldova. A legend alive”. The purpose of the ONVV is to contribute to the recognition and promotion of quality Moldovan wine abroad.

The ONVV operates under the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry, and performs as a public-private partnership, being managed, and financed jointly from the Vine and Wine Fund, set up out of contributions from the private sector and state budget allocations.
