Did you know?

  • 🍷Home to Mileștii Mici — the Guinness World Record holder for the largest wine cellar by number of bottles (nearly 2 million), an underground limestone 'city' spanning over 120 miles where the streets are named after wines (Cabernet Street, Merlot Street…) and workers drive cars or ride bikes to get around.
  • 🍇The country's borders on the map naturally form the shape of a bunch of grapes — fitting, since winemaking has been the heart of Moldovan culture and economy for over 5,000 years.
  • 📐Moldova contains one of the UNESCO-listed points of the Struve Geodetic Arc, a 19th-century survey that helped establish the size and shape of Earth.
  • 🎸Gave the internet the 'Epic Sax Guy' — saxophonist Sergey Stepanov of SunStroke Project, whose 2010 Eurovision solo and hip-thrusting dance became one of the most viral memes in internet history.
