The history of the Bobruisk plant began in 1897, when the first building of the alcohol warehouse was built here.
The enterprise successfully developed, new buildings were built. In the middle of the last century, Georgian cognacs and wines were bottled at the winery, until the 80s.

The building with a chimney and stained-glass windows is noteworthy. On the façade, one can still discern the inscription in Latin “viti sus unitis" (another variant - Vinitus Unitis) and the date 1946 (the date of reconstruction of the winery).
