The aim of this paper was to apply the AHP method for ranking grapevine varieties, evaluating the market demands and for developing a program for setting up new vineyards in a near future. Eight grapevine varieties ('Perlette’, 'Muscat d’Adda’, 'Fetească albă’, 'Muscat Ottonel’, 'Pinot gris’, 'Cabernet Sauvignon’, 'Burgund’, 'Merlot’) and nineteen quantitative and qualitative criteria have been used in the AHP exercise. The analyses were carried out using the Expert Choice Desktop software package. Based on the results, consistent with the recognition of the grapevine growing area and in the frame of climatic change conditions, Ștefănești viticultural centre requires further assessments regarding the cultivated grapevine genotypes, having a great potential for table grapes and white wine varieties.
