Things at Bacchus, Bulgaria's magazine for wine and gourmet culture, are changing. In mid-July, the first Bulgarian wine encyclopaedia (aka, vinopedia) was launched; this co-incided with an entire makeover of the magazine's website.

In the vinopedia are more than 300 wines, all tested and rated by the staff at Bacchus; new wines are added each month, a result of the magazine's Dégustation (Дегустации) rubric. Vinopedia entries include the name, rating and price of the wine, with search options additionally available for year of harvest, grape varietal and type of wine. Access is free-of-charge.

Bacchus' new website (in Bulgarian) also features breaking news related to the wine and food industry, blogs, a forum, information about upcoming gatherings and events, a glossary of terms and information for wine novices, the list of Bacchus-recommended restaurants and an archive of past issues of the magazine.

The other piece of Bacchus news concerns a change in Editor-in-Chief. Albena Shkodrova comes to Bacchus with an impressive career in the field of journalism under her belt. The founder of travel website BalkanTravellers.com has also headed Balkan Investigative Reporting Network for Bulgaria and been an editor at Bulgaria Air's in-flight magazine HighFlights.

Bacchus is part of the Economedia group, which is also the majority shareholder in Sofia Echo Media.
