The events included:
The Bulgarian Wine Culture - an interactive presentation including
live performance and song and dance learning elements, 24 January 2006,

ELC Ltd’s team presented: the Bulgarian tradition of vine-growing and wine-producing since Thracian times. The session aimed to demonstrate the cultural and traditional role of wine in Bulgarian life. Participants were also given tips on choosing the right wine and using wine in traditional Bulgarian cuisine.
From the IWC Bulletin: “In one of the coldest days in Sofia (-17 C) some members of IWC took part in a real worm event at Matti D. The Bulgarian Wine Culture presentation was organized by one of the new members of the Club – Svetlana Aladjem. The two hours event included dancing of Bulgarian folklore dances, life performance of folklore songs and tasting of selected wines and home made “banitza” and “pitka”. Most importantly the presentation provided useful information on choosing and buying Bulgarian wines as well as on some of the most curious Bulgarians’ cultural characteristics related to wine preparation and use.“
