Popular drinks in Georgia⬇️
Of course Georgia is the capital of wine. Speaking about this country, you immediately imagine yourself at a table full of delicious Georgian dishes, with a glass of fragrant red. Moreover, there is no bad wine in Georgia, since its production and quality are under the control of the state. But, speaking of Georgia, it would be wrong not to mention other equally well-known and delicious drinks. Let's figure out together what the local market offers us.
Mineral water
The first thing that comes to mind when talking about mineral water in Georgia is the well-known Borjomi brand. In recent years, this water has firmly established itself on the shelves of Russian stores, having seen a response in the faces of Soviet buyers.
Borjomi is unique in that it comes to the surface warm, without having time to cool down underground. This allows it to enrich itself with the minerals of the Caucasus Mountains. However mineral water in Georgia it is produced not only under this brand.
There are more than 730 types of various mineral waters in the country. Both medical and canteens, for example, brands "Likani", "Nabeglavi".
Lemonade
Not many countries in the world can boast of their own production of lemonades. Georgia is one of these countries and presents a variety of flavors of this drink on the domestic market. In almost every restaurant or supermarket you can buy, try and choose exactly the one that will suit your taste. One of the most famous brands is Natakhtari.
Lemonade in Georgia it is made on the basis of mineral water with the addition of natural juices, while retaining all the benefits of natural ingredients. Feijoa, cream cream, saperavi, tarragon and other flavors definitely deserve your attention. Due to the content of natural mineral water, lemonade is the best thirst-quenching drink for walking around the city, even in the sweltering heat.
Beer
Beer, as in many countries, is a favorite drink. Georgia is no exception. Residents of high-altitude settlements cannot boast of overgrown vineyards, which dot all the plains in the country.
The only way out was brewing beer from wheat. The Georgians coped with the task perfectly. In the villages, beer is not treated like other alcoholic beverages and is allowed to be consumed by young men from the age of 14.
Cha cha
Cha cha - this is a strong alcoholic drink. Initially, it was made from grape cake. Later, Georgians began to use other fruits for cooking. Now you can meet plum, apricot, persimmon and other types.
An interesting fact is that chacha is an officially patented drink in Georgia. But as one friend says: "The taste of chacha is the same, but the adventures are different." It should be tasted with caution, since the strength of this drink is very high.
Machari
During the grape ripening season in Georgian villages, you can try the Machari drink. This is a young fermenting wine. If you are going on a trip during Georgian holidays in Tbilisi, Rtveli and others, it is worth finding time and getting out to places where homemade wine is made.
During the ripening period, while the drink has not yet become wine, but already has a degree, and Machari is obtained, and due to the ongoing fermentation, it turns carbonated. After tasting such an unusual treat, you will definitely ask for supplements.
Georgia is very hospitable, including in the choice of drinks to meet the needs of even the most fastidious guests. Therefore, we wish you to enjoy this country, travel and feasts with any filling of your glasses. You will definitely find exactly what you will like.

Интересно было прочитать про лимонад. Для меня это какой-то американский напиток. Не думала, что в Грузии любят лимонад. Кавказ у меня больше ассоциируется с каким-нибудь травяным чаем, а его в списке почему-то нет. Неужели чай не входит в ТОП- напитков Грузии?
Лимонад крем - сливки, что-то новенькое, не представляю его вкус,а вот фейхоа, наверное хорошо освежает.
Прикольно сказано :"Вкус чачи одинаковый, а приключения разные"), по крепости интересно она сколько. Про мачари впервые узнала из статьи.По вкусу, наверное, что-то между шампанским и вином.
