Abstract—Substantial changes in the global and domestic wine market have made it necessity to modify the
technologies of producing high-quality wines, to decrease production costs, and to ensure food safety. Proceed-
ing from the long-standing analysis of the industry’s economy, climatic and agrocenotic changes, and topical
research and practice tasks, a number of fundamental scientific problems are formulated that should be solved
to obtain new knowledge in order to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of the sector’s production. The
dynamics and development of cenotic interconnections and physiological–biochemical processes in the com-
ponents of agroecosystems, which are predetermined by the significant edaphoclimatic differentiation of viti-
culture zones and microzones, as well as by a number of other factors, require continuous research and devel-
opment of preventive measures to maintain agrocoenoses in highly productive conditions, the creation and
adaptation of assortments, epiphytotic prevention, and bringing the technologies into accordance with the level
of production development.

Keywords: viticulture–winemaking industry, functional disproportions, import substitution, scientific support,
agroecosystems, edaphoclimatic differentiation, resistance of varieties.
