Abstract:

In order to identify and rank the most important grapevine varieties for red and rosé wine of Huşi vineyard, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method has been used. Knowing that the vocation of Huşi vineyard is the culture of the grapevine varieties for white wine, the result of the AHP application was expected to give a scientific contribution to the viticultural market, in order to extend the growing area of some varieties, based on subjective criteria. Seven grapevine varieties (Burgund mare, Fetească neagră, Băbească neagră, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Busuioacă de Bohotin) and seventeen quantitative and qualitative criteria have been used in the AHP exercise. The analyses were carried out using the Expert Choice Desktop software package. According to the results, Busuioacă de Bohotin and Fetească neagră (considered autochthonous varieties), and Burgund mare (with high quantities of produced grapes), were selected as the most important grapevine varieties for red and rosé wine in this aria.
