Everyone chooses a drink to his own taste, usually red wines are more popular. These above mentioned types of wines are produced not only by factories, but also by households. You can find them anywhere: in a store, in shops, they are served in a restaurant, in a cafe and many other places.

The most popular grape varieties used to make wine are Saperavi and Kindzmarauli (we have already listed the wines of the same name above). It is from these varieties of wine and offer tourists in most cases. They have already been tasted by almost the entire world. Many who have tasted the wines of these varieties have noticed that the wines turned out for them:

• Unpleasantly sour;
• Not refined.

The wines from these grape varieties are not suitable for all tourists. If you find yourself among them, below you will learn about the wines that are "hidden" from you, but which will open the world of Georgian wine to you from a new perspective.

The most delicious Georgian wine, which tourists usually "miss," is kept by locals. They know all the subtleties, all the tastes, and can offer you something you will definitely like. There is a wine that is much lighter than Saperavi wine. It is not like the other wines that are usually sold for "mass" tourist consumption.

Most of Georgia's most popular wines are produced in the Kakheti and Racha regions. But these are not the only places where wines are produced, of course. Special, unlike other tastes are produced in Kartli.

Kartli wines have some differences. They are made from endemic varieties of grapes. Another peculiarity of the wines is that they are made according to traditional Georgian technology, namely, aging in clay vessels. In today's world, not many popular wines are made this way - it is long and expensive.

The use of such a rare grape variety and the use of ancient technology during the production makes Kartli wines special. Once you taste them, unlike other wines, they will seem different:
