The vast underground cellars of Moldova’s Cricova winery used to echo with the sounds of hundreds of visitors. Now just a handful of guests wander past the huge barrels and endless rows of bottles holding its vintages.

“We used to have 300 to 450 people a day but with the pandemic... there are days when there are only 15 people, ” winery tour guide Vita Viznyuk said in the cellars, her face covered by a black mask.
