(TheWorld) - Behajdin Durguti goes vine to vine, as he’s done for the past 30 years, clipping clusters of Riesling grapes and tossing them into a bucket. Customers have come from neighboring Albania, where they use his grapes to make white wine and a potent brandy called Rakia. Durguti has to turn customers away; a devastating winter here destroyed much of his crop. It’s little solace for grape growers like Durguti, but there’s been a surge in demand for Kosovo grapes. That’s a positive sign for a once-thriving wine industry that’s trying to make a comeback.
