U to vreme su biljne vaši napale vinovu lozu po Evropi, a klimatski i geografski uslovi sačuvali Negotinsku Krajinu i odredili je da bude novi izvoznik vina za ceo kontinent. Ubrzo je čitava Krajina doživela procvat, a vina iz ovog regiona mogla su se naći na mnogim dvorovima Evrope. Čak su i Francuzi pre Drugog svetskog rata kupovali grožđe iz Negotinske Krajine. Čuveno selo Rogljevo izgrađeno je oko 1861, a sve je više ljubitelja vina koji otkrivaju ovu jedinstvenu vremensku kapsulu. Inače, Negotinska Krajina je jedini kraj u kojem još opstaje crna tamjanika, autohtona sorta grožđa koja daje vina intenzivnog, mističnog mirisa i arome voća i začinskog bilja. VINOGRADI/VINEYARDS VINSKI PUT NEGOTIN I VINSKI PUT KNJAŽEVAC PRAVE SU VINSKE RIZNICE SRBIJE / THE NEGOTIN AND KNJAŽEVAC WINE ROUTES ARE TRUE WINE TREASURE TROVES OF SERBIA Glavna sala muzeja vina u istorijskom vinskom selu Rogljevske pivnice / The main hall of the wine museum in the historic winemaking village of Rogljevska Pivnica In close proximity to Negotin, on a hill above the village of Rajac, stands Rajačke Pimnice [Rajac wine cellars], a settlement created in the 19th century for the express purpose of producing and storing wine. That was a time when the grape phylloxera insect was attacking vines across Europe, but the Negotin Frontier region was saved by its climatic and geographical conditions, and thus determined as a new region from which wine could be exported to the entire continent. The whole region soon flourished and its wines could be found in many European courts. The French even bought grapes from the Negotin region during the time prior to the outbreak of World War II. The famous village of Rogljevo was constructed around 1861, and today there are ever-more wine lovers discovering this unique time capsule. Interestingly, the Negotin Frontier is the only region where the black tamjanika still survives. This autochthonous Muscat grape variety is used to produce wines with an intense, mystical body and a fruity, herby aroma. UKUSI SRBI JE / TASTES OF SERBIA
