Why did we create «PRobka»
In the year of the 30th anniversary of «M&P», we decided that we wanted to support one of the most dynamically developing industries in Russia – winemaking. Since alcohol advertising is prohibited in our country, its promotion is a true art.
The aim of the award is to support the efforts of Russian winemakers in promoting domestic wine and to highlight the best practices in the field of communications and marketing of Russian wine.

The celebration, attended by several hundred clients, partners, friends, and employees of M&P, was also entirely dedicated to Russian wine. The event took place in a very warm, almost family atmosphere, accompanied by the songs of Leonid Agutin.
