Since ancient times, the Turkmen land has been considered the home of the world's best fruits – sweet, fragrant melons. According to a legend, the fruits represent a gift to humanity from paradise. The historical chronicles evidence that, as early as the 7th-9th centuries, the Turkmen melons were supplied to the palaces of Arab rulers and were highly appreciated. Sun-drenched grapes, distinguished by the high sugar content, are not inferior to melons in their taste. Growing under the generous Turkmen sunrays, grapes acquire a unique and rich taste. Grapes are the basic raw materials for the production in wineries. Thus, aged cognac has a rich and refined aroma, and wine possesses a unique and delicious taste
