In 1896 the Belgium spirits society was built on the banks of the Lugan river. The Luhansk distillery was set up on the basis of this society according to the Tsar’s decree of 1900. Since then Luhansk distillery has been working without any intervals.
Since 1998 its goods are having been produced under the registered trademark “Luga-Nova”.
A wide range of products produced by “Luga-Nova” is well known beyond the borders of Luhansk region.

Some trade firms have been set up in Kyiv and in the Crimea. They successfully distribute “Luga-Nova” products. Besides that there are big wholesale companies from Donetsk, Kharkov, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia which distribute our production with great desire because it corresponds to the highest standards.

Day by day our enterprise is providing advanced technology. This allows to improve the quality of our goods. For instance, we have purchased an analytical gas-chromatographer for finding various dashes in spirits. The use of computers facilitates the process of measuring of these dashes.

Vodka “Luga-Nova”, special vodka “Muscatna” and a bitter nastoyka “Zhytnya” received gold medals.
