Where can you buy good chacha in Tbilisi?
Wine shops, brand stores and markets.
Short answer
Good chacha in Tbilisi is sold in specialist wine shops, winery brand stores and large supermarkets, where a factory-labelled bottle usually costs 20 to 60 GEL. Markets such as Dezerter Bazaar sell homemade chacha, but nobody checks its strength or quality. For a gift, a factory bottle with an excise stamp is the safer choice.
Why
- Chacha is a strong spirit distilled from grape pomace, usually 40-60% alcohol.
- Many wineries produce their own chacha, sometimes barrel-aged.
- Taking it abroad is subject to the destination country's alcohol limits.
Details
Ask to taste before buying; wine shops usually allow it. On flights, pack bottles well in checked luggage.
