A Premium Collection of Rakia – Tradition, Craftsmanship and the Spirit of the Balkans

Welcome to the Rakia collection at Champagne Wine Shop & Bar. Rakia is much more than a traditional Balkan drink – it is a symbol of hospitality, shared celebrations and centuries-old craftsmanship. Today, quality fruit brandies are enjoying a true renaissance, rivalling some of the world's finest spirits. That is why we have selected an exceptional range of premium, craft and specially aged rakias to satisfy even the most demanding connoisseurs.

What will you find in our rakia selection?

The world of high-quality fruit spirits is exceptionally rich in aromas, and our catalogue includes only the finest examples:

• Grape rakia: The classic of the genre. From delicate, highly aromatic Muscat spirits to complex reserves aged for a long time in oak casks, which gain softness and hints of vanilla and caramel.

• Plum rakia: A favourite Balkan style, distinguished by its body, rich fruit character and remarkable potential for ageing in wood.

• Craft fruit spirits (quince, apricot, pear): Exceptionally elegant rakias that are difficult to produce and capture the purest, freshest aroma of the fruit. Ideal both as an aperitif and as a special gift.

What food should you pair with your premium rakia?

Rakia is made to accompany rich, flavourful meals. Traditionally it is served slightly chilled as an aperitif and pairs perfectly with:

• Fresh seasonal salads (the classic Shopska or Shepherd's salad);

• Traditional pickles and marinated vegetables;

• Cured meats such as lukanka and pastarma;

• To turn your tasting into a refined culinary experience, we recommend pairing your aged rakia with items from our gourmet selection, where you will find first-class meat terrines and delicacies that perfectly complement a quality spirit.
