American newspaper: Entire country of Moldova planted with "crap grapes"

The Faster Times, an American online newspaper founded in 2009, recently posted a news story about "crap wines," which are made from low-quality grapes. The author argues that some of these grapes are unjustifiably disparaged since many of them "are original and pure and cost delightfully little."

The newspaper mentions Moldova in the article in this passage:
"With fancy Brunellos and Napa Chardonnays getting all the attention, it’s easy to forget that most of the world’s wines can justly be termed crap wines. Entire countries are planted with them (ever been to Moldova?)."

The entire article can be read here.
