Winemaking has a very old history, which goes back thousands of years in the past. Numerous countries and geographical regions are known and acknowledged for their winemaking history. In Romania, there are countless winemaking regions that produce high-quality red and white wines. In the present experiment, we measured the quantitative and qualitative parameters of two red wines manufactured from worldwide-known varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) and two red wines produced from traditional grape varieties (Cadarcă/Kadarka and Fetească Neagră/Fekete Leányka). The data were collected in three different years to see if the traditional varieties could compete with the worldwide-known varieties. In terms of wine quality parameters, looking at total acidity, the Cabernet Sauvignon in 2018 while in terms of alcohol content the Fetească Neagră/Fekete Leányka in 2017 showed the highest values. From the sensory examination, it could be concluded that Fetească Neagră/Fekete Leányka yielded the best results in 2017, in 2018 the Cadarcă/Kadarka, and in 2019 the Merlot variety.
