      abstract = {The Czech agrarian foreign trade recorded significant  changes since the Czech Republic joined the EU in 2004.  This fact influenced also domestic and foreign wine trade  of the Czech Republic. This article identifies the main  changes in the product structure, and it specifies the  level of Czech wine export comparative advantages ́  distribution in relation to European Union member states.  The analysis takes into account not only the trade value  (in USD) but also the trade volume (in tonnes) of  particular commodities. Commodity structure (HS system is  applied at a six-digit level for the more detailed analyses  of trade) is analysed especially in relation to the unit  price value and in relation to the comparative advantages ́  or disadvantages ́ distribution. The main analysis of the  comparative advantages ́ distribution is based on Balassa  index, Lafay index and the trade balance index. The results  obtained from the individual analysis are presented by the  modified “product mapping method”. The territorial  structure of the Czech agrarian trade is heavily focused on  the trade with the European Union member states. The Czech  Republic has comparative advantages in wine trade with the  European Union in the following sub-aggregations: Wine of  fresh grapes to 2 litres (HS 220421) and Grape must (HS  220430). Main destinations for Czech wine export are  following: Slovakia, Poland and Germany.},
