Wine has been grown and made in Czech lands for more than twenty centuries and has always played an important role not only in economy but also in culture, society and even politics. During the course of its history the quality of Czech wine has been acknowledged in foreign countries and markets however, due to the politic development after the Second World War the Czech wine industry got physically and politically isolated for several decades from the global wine industry.

The last twenty years though have seen a dramatic change and development and Czech wines are again enjoying great attention and recognition of the market and customers though mostly in the Czech Republic. However, first attempts for regaining its position within European wine countries have been made and Czech wines are now being again exported to several European countries, USA and Asia regaining its position and status as a member of the world wine family.
