What are some fun facts about Georgian wine?

The beautiful Georgian nectar occupies a mesmeric place in the world of vineyards, ever since anticent time. The archaeological evidence suggests that the first wines were made in the country of Georgia in 6000 BC, being thus considered one of the oldest wine-producing regions of the whole world. This is what really makes Georgian wine unique – its large selection of over 500 different indigenous grapes, many of which are universally absent. The Georgian art of winemaking presents a feature that is fantastic, commonly called qvevri, where grapes are fermented right inside a large clay vessel which is being buried underground. This traditional method trains wine tablets to be flavored and textured differently from the rest, which in turn helps it to be individualized. Georgian wine culture goes to the depth of the national tradition with all the rituals and traditions around wine making being handed over and enriched from generation to generation. From its energetic fests to its great terroir, Georgian wine has a sparkling spectrum of exciting stories winemakers can tell you and interests any wine lover would have.
