The history of winemaking in Serbia dates back to prehistory . Viticulture was rich during the Roman period . Wine has been part of Serbian culture since the establishment of statehood ,especially during the reign of the Nemjanicic’ dynasty ( XII – XIV century ), which encouraged and promoted viticulture. Former Yugoslavia was among the top-ten world wine producing countries . As its peak in the 1970s , it produced over 6. Million hl annually . Wine production declined dramatically after the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s , but in the 2000s , Serbian winemaking started not only to recover , but to take a sharp decisive turn towards quality and distinction. In 2004 the wine production in Serbia was 1.550.000 litres. High quality and quality wines constitute about 35% of production.

I light of revival of winemaking industry in Serbia, the Serbian Ministery of Agriculture in 2008 launched an initiative for reform of Serbian laws on winemaking, and re-classification of wine regions. A revised region classification was issued in 2013 , defining 22 regions without sub-regions , and specifying their borders and characteristics in detail.

64% are white wines and the rest are red wines . 

White wine varieties are : Smederevka, Tamjanika, Krstac’, Dinka, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Rhine Riesling.

Red wine varieties are : Prokapec, Vranec, Krajinska Tamjanika, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
