Georgia

Georgia is widely regarded as the cradle of wine, with evidence of winemaking stretching back over eight thousand years. The country's traditional qvevri method, in which grapes are fermented and aged in large clay vessels buried underground, is recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.

Indigenous grapes such as Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, and Kisi thrive across Georgia's diverse microclimates, from the humid west to the continental east. Today, Georgian wine bridges ancient tradition and global appeal, attracting curious drinkers with its amber wines, robust reds, and deep sense of place.
