Moldova may be the poorest country in Europe but one thing the former Soviet republic does have is wine.Most of it is sold in the former USSR but as Moldova moves closer to the European Union, Russia has responded by a series of embargoes on wine and other agricultural products. In tiny Gagauzia, an autonomous part of Moldova, residents are wary of losing access to Russia. That leaves fear that Russia could exploit divisions within Moldova just as it has in Ukraine.
