The exhibition took place in Frankfurt, Germany, last weekend, gathering wine and cider-makers from all over the world. Abavas earned high recognition during the "Pomme d'Or" competition, earning two "Golden Apples" for the two beverages previously mentioned.
A total of 120 beverages from a multitude of countries competed at the event. They were judged by a jury, consisting of six wine connoisseurs. The top 40 beverages won the "Golden Apple".
Barkans revealed that Abavas has also signed a cooperation agreement with local stores and restaurants in Germany. The winery's products will soon go on sale in Frankfurt.
Abavas was founded in 2010.
