Summary/Abstract: The legacy of viticulture and wine production in Bulgaria is strongly ingrained in the nation‘s cultural heritage and has a long and rich history. Bulgarian postal stamps, which frequently feature images of vineyards and winemaking traditions, also honour this history. The history and significance of enopoststamps were examined in this article. The enopoststamps were recognized and their development during the course of Bulgaria‘s philatelic history, from 1879 to 2024, based on the three definitions of enophilately put forth in this study. Both the quantity of stamps created and their circulation were used to rank the artists of the viticulture philatelic issues.
