Where can you buy good wine in Tbilisi, and how much does it cost?
Wine shops, bars and markets, and bottle prices.
Short answer
In Tbilisi, good wine is sold in specialist wine shops and wine bars in the Old Town and Sololaki, in winery brand stores and in large supermarkets. A decent bottle costs about 15-40 GEL, while natural and qvevri wines from small wineries start at 30-40 GEL. Homemade wine from markets is cheaper, but taste it first.
Why
- Tbilisi has many wine bars where you can taste by the glass before buying.
- Natural wines from small producers cost more than mass-market ones but are harder to find abroad.
- Supermarkets stock a wide range from big producers at moderate prices.
Details
To taste lots of wines at once, book a tasting at a wine bar or a shop with a tasting room. Before buying in bulk, check your country's alcohol import limits.
Tip
Look for wine bars and family-winery shops in the Old Town and Sololaki, where you can taste before buying.
What may differ
The same wine's price differs noticeably between brand shops, supermarkets and the airport.
