This study investigates the impact of government subsidies on the expansion of vineyard surface areas and the production of alcoholic beverages in Kosovo. Over recent years, subsidies have played a pivotal role in revitalizing Kosovo’s viticulture and alcohol production sectors, leading to a notable increase in vineyard acreage and a subsequent rise in local wine and spirits’ output. By analyzing subsidy allocations, vineyard expansion data, and production figures, this research assesses the effectiveness of these financial incentives in fostering industry growth. The findings indicate that while subsidies have stimulated significant development in Kosovo's viticulture and alcohol production, they also pose challenges related to market dynamics, economic sustainability, and potential over-reliance on government support.
