Abstract

The combinations of herbs with alcohol and wine are as old as mankind. The need for sedatives and painkillers has long resulted from the mixing of herbs and alcohol, today's trend is a leap into another era of wine. The trend of popularizing cannabis as a medicine, as one of the plants that can be most persistent in the fight against climate change and described as a modern savior of the 21st century, results in a cannabis-infused wine product. The big jump in the cannabis industry globally, even in our country, are just one of the indicators of its progression. Will consumers' need for tasty and relaxing drinks make or break, will the trend of cannabis as a lifeline for the globe continue, are these conclusions real, proven, and most importantly needed, or is it just a momentary euphoria that will end quickly, we will leave this on the time.

Legislation is being adapted in favor of cannabis all over the world, more and more cannabis infused products are appearing on the market. The story of cannabis has two sides, the side where the plant saves the world from climate change and pollution and the other where its cultivation requires huge resources of water, energy, use of pesticides, which in turn have a counter-effect.

The trend called Cannabis-Wine needs to be thoroughly investigated deep to the roots, and explanation to be given.

Our research has shown that with the current trend and progression in the cannabis industry in Macedonia, as well as the wine industry which is one of the main agricultural branches in the country provide an opportunity for development of this type of product. The development of this trend on a global level will be reflected in our region.

Key words: cannabis, wine, trend, medicine, climate change
