A significant area of Slovakia’s Tokaj vineyards near Čerhov (in Trebišov district, eastern Slovakia) was damaged by fire yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, March 14). Locals and well as volunteer firemen helped extinguish the fire.
“Two fire engines with six professional firemen were sent, and helped prevent the fire from spreading to the forest,” Trebišov firefighter Juraj Pastor told the TASR newswire, who said he and his colleagues were called out at 16:35. Pastor added that fires spread to neighbouring houses but these were extinguished. TASR reported that more than 10 hectares of vines were damaged.
Tokaj, also known internationally as Tokay, is a special type of wine produced in just one region of the world, bordering Hungary and Slovakia.

The focus of the paper is to determine the tendency of development of
Slovak wine international trade. The objective of the article is to
identify barriers and positive stimulants of wine exports using the
gravity model. On the one hand, the basic determinants of gravity model
as GDP per capita, number of inhabitants in the import countries and the
distance between Slovakia and its business partners are considered as
the potential determinants for the Slovak wine export. On the other
hand, there are other factors used that come from papers with similar
topics and those are production of the domestic country, membership in
international and trade organizations, common characteristics of the
domestic country and its business partners. Based on the results of this
research, variability of dependent variable can be better explained by
model with cross-cutting nature than by the panel model. Significant
variables behave according to the general presumptions. Membership in
the EU, the OECD and the WTO were determined by the model as the factors
without significant influence on Slovak wine export. Common
characteristics, however, appeared to have positive impact on mutual
foreign trade. Furthermore, it was found out that the Slovak wine is
seen as an inferior good by the consumers.
