Summary/Abstract: This research examines the directions of sustainable development within winemaking enterprises in the Republic of Moldova, with a focus on the production of BIO/ECO/vegan wines, ecological certification, and waste management. The study addresses the increasing consumer demand for natural and pure products, free from preservatives or containing reduced additives, which significantly influences global market trends. By analyzing the achievements of European countries in sustainable winemaking, the research evaluates the feasibility of adapting and implementing these practices in the Moldovan context. Particular emphasis is placed on ecological certification as a strategic tool for enhancing export potential and fostering consumer trust. Furthermore, the study investigates the alignment of national legislative requirements for waste management with European standards. The findings aim to provide actionable recommendations to advance sustainability practices and strengthen the competitiveness of Moldova's winemaking sector.
