History
A Tatar village was established {{circa | 1500}}, called {{lang|tt|Acha-abag}} "the lower vineyards" (attested 1788). The name was subsequently simplified to Shabag and finally to Shaba / Shabo. After the conquest of Bessarabia by the Russian Empire and its annexation by Russia in 1812, the region suffered a population drain to the Ottoman Empire. Shabo in 1812 had been deserted by all but three or four families. Emperor Alexander I decided to re-populate the region, in 1822 inviting Swiss settlers from Vaud, led by {{ill|Louis-Vincent Tardent|ru|Тардан, Луи-Венсан}}, to cultivate vineyards at Shabo. The descendants of these settlers inhabit Shabo to the present day,{{cn|date=March 2024}} and Shabo wine remains famous for its quality.{{cn|date=November 2023}}
In 1889, the village Osnovy was founded in what is now southern Ukraine by settlers from Shabo. Osnovy became a significant grape plantation and winemaking site, where the wine was exported through the port of Brytany (present-day Dnipriany).{{Cite encyclopedia |title= Дніпряни, Нова Каховка, Херсонська область |encyclopedia= Історія міст і сіл Української РСР |url= https://ukrssr.com.ua/kherson/dnipryani-nova-kahovka |language=uk}} Osnovy eventually merged into Dnipriany in 1957.
