Russia's consumer rights watchdog Rospotrebnadzor rejected 655,000 liters of imported Moldovan wine in October due to safety reasons, the Russian chief sanitary doctor said, RIA Novosti reported. "We have allowed 6.08 liters [of wine] and rejected as defective 655,000 liters," Gennady Onishchenko said. Russia, previously the importer of 80 percent of all wine produced in Moldova, embargoed deliveries in March 2006. In 2007, over 40 Moldovan wine producing enterprises passed sanitation and epidemiological checks and supplies were resumed.
