Inside the Kremlin's Winery

The wine house at Abrau-Durso, near the shore of Lake Abrau, is the largest sparkling wine producer in Russia. The house was founded in 1870 to supply sparkling wine to the Tsar's household. It has endured a shift from imperialism to communism, the fall of the Soviet Union, and economic turmoil brought on by low oil prices and political strife in Crimea. Under the communist regime, Abrau-Durso made Sovetskoye Shampanskoye, which translates "Soviet Champagne". Take a tour. Photographs by Andrey Rudakov for Bloomberg
