UKRAINIAN BUBBLES
These wines were saved from Artwinery, the world’s deepest sparkling winery, 236 feet beneath Bakhmut, Ukraine, a city that endured a brutal siege and destruction. These bottles of Artwine are the last of their kind, carrying an exceptional experience and a powerful story of resilience and craftsmanship in every sip.
SPARKLING WINES OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY
SAVED BEFORE RUSSIAN OCCUPATION
Sparkling Wine crafted by hand in “méthode traditionnelle” and smuggled away from Russian mercenaries during the Battle of Bakhmut. Available in limited supply in the United States, Artwine is a proud Ukrainian export that captures the culture and spirit of a country that celebrates quiet victories and savors each moment with family and friends.
AN INCREDIBLE STORY
“Throughout history, and even now in politically unstable regions, autocrats seek to control wine. For many people, it is worth defending.......
Artwinery last year began to secretly transport a sizable portion of the bottles, to warehouses in safer locations in Ukraine. The winery would not disclose exactly how many bottles were moved or where they are now. The Russians have now occupied the winery. ”

Our bottles were originally produced in the world’s deepest sparkling wine caves, 236 feet below the surface across 60 acres of caverns. Unfortunately today, those same wine caves are under Russian occupation, in Bakhmut, Ukraine. Produced before the war and heroically smuggled to the United States, we can offer six varietals to suit the most discerning palette.
