«Bacchus» has gone from a champagne factory to the industry leader in the country for seventy-five years.Today we make over 80 types of products. And our cognac gained its legendary status long time ago.
We are conscious and proud of our history – it’s a long way of development of an establishment with its victories, challenges and overcomes. It’s important for us that Kazakhstanis feel their relation to this big story because «Bacchus» is an asset of the whole nation.
The construction of Alma-Ata plant of champagne and vintage wines was begun. The first batch of bottled champagne made of grape from own vineyards was put into still unfinished basements.
The first 5 thousand bottles of Kazakhstan champagne was produced.
The plant started its work. Three years later 300 thousand bottles of champagne were produced. It was the first sparkling wine in Central Asia made by classic technology and «cuvee” method.
The capacity of manufacture was increased — 2.5 millions of bottles per year are made by the continuous method, 300 thousand — by classic technology. The production of vintage and ordinary wines began — 1200 thousand dal per year.
The production of cognac began — 260 thousand dal per year. Cognac spirits from Cyprus, France, Romania and Bulgaria were used in the first Kazakhstani cognacs.
By that year the amount of champagne produced decreased by 3 times, amount of wine — by 10 times, and amount of cognac — by 4 times. It was because of Gorbachev's anti-alcohol campaign that started in 1985. In 1989 the plant resurrected under the new name of «Production association «Beverages».
We began to produce the «Jibek Joly» vodka with the unique system of water softening. The plant managed to purchase from a submarine the air purifier and desalter taking chlorine and heavy metals out of water.
