A variety of Georgian wines and grape varieties. Wine-making traditions of the country.
Winemaking in Georgia is a huge layer of the culture of the Georgian people. You can start studying it from Kakheti, the region is famous for its vineyards and a variety of varieties of Georgian wines. The aroma of ripening grapes in Georgia follows, almost everywhere.
Vineyards in Georgia occupy huge areas: practically from horizon to horizon. Therefore, the smell of ripening grapes and ready-made wine is felt everywhere: sweet and dry, semi-sweet and semi-dry. There are varieties and tastes for every lover. These are all traditions and culture of the Georgian people, what defines them. Since there is no life without wine here, the hospitality for which the country is so famous is inseparably linked with wine. No wonder even the image of the vine itself became sacred to the people and symbolized life, fertility.
Traveling around the country and looking into the details, you will definitely see vines as decorative elements in houses, churches and cathedrals. Few people pay attention to this, so it will be especially interesting to discover something that is invisible to most.

And it's not surprising, because history of Georgian winemaking it is already 8,000 years old, which means that this art originated before our era. Historically, Georgia has made a huge contribution: it was here that the oldest wine vessel was found during excavations. Moreover, it is Sakartvelo (as Georgians call their homeland) that is recognized as the birthplace of the wine drink.
Apparently, this is why in 2013 the traditional Georgian way of winemaking in Kvevri was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Qvevri is a conical amphora without handles. Vessel sizes vary. The most common holds 1-2 tons of raw materials.
At the moment, more than 500 different grape varieties are grown in the country, all of which are suitable for making high-quality wine. The most famous species include Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Kindzmarauli, Tsitska, Khvanchkara, Twishi, Usakhelauri, Ocaleshi and others. Each of them has its own peculiarities of taste and aftertaste, each of them has its own fortress.
For those who are particularly interested in this part of the culture, it will be interesting to come and take part in the rtveli (harvest process) in Kakheti. This is a holiday, participation in which is a full immersion in the life of Georgians. Such trips are remembered forever.

Было бы интересно узнать больше о влиянии грузинского вина на мировую винную индустрию, надеюсь учтёте.
За последние несколько дней я посетил несколько винодельческих предприятий и узнал много интересного. Каждое предприятие имеет свой уникальный подход к производству вина и каждый виноградник использует свои собственные техники выращивания. Мне нравится, что грузинские виноделы уважают традиции и используют их для создания новых вкусов.
Самое интересное винодельческое предприятие, которое я посетил, было небольшим плодотворным садом виноградников, где каждая лоза выращивается вручную. Здесь они продвигают свой уникальный подход к производству вина и я действительно наслаждался их дегустационным залом и панорамным видом на горы.
Если вы думаете о посещении Грузии и проведении винного тура, я бы рекомендовал посетить Кахетию, где находятся некоторые из лучших винодельческих предприятий Грузии. Но не ограничивайтесь только этим регионом, исследуйте и другие местности, и вы найдете много новых и удивительных открытий. Какие места для дегустации вин в Грузии вы посоветуете мне посетить?
