Wine history Georgia
Georgia is located on the east coast of the Black Sea, similar in latitude to northern Spain, but thousands of kilometers east, just past Turkey. Here, among the mountainous slopes and undulating landscape along the vast Mtkvari River, vines flourish. Over the centuries, this river has changed its course several times, causing the vineyards to extend from the mineral-rich hills to the former clay riverbeds. It is a region where archaeologists have discovered earthenware jars containing the world's oldest traces of grape seeds, dating back to 6000 BC. The word 'Gvino' in Georgian for 'wine' has its origins here. In the 17th century, Georgia produced more high-quality wine than any other country in the world. The influence of the church on wine production has been profound here for centuries and continues to be felt. Wine is experienced in a unique way in Georgia; it is not a hasty drink, but almost a spiritual experience. Wine is drunk with mindfulness, often in the company of good friends, unexpected guests or family, and always in harmony with a suitable meal. Wine is a symbol of Georgian culture. In the 1930s, wine production was industrialized on a large scale under the Soviet planned economy. It was not until 1991 that Georgia became an independent republic, returning the vineyards to their original owners. This entailed significant modernization of production methods and bottling processes. Exports grew rapidly, with Russia as the most important market. However, in April 2006, Russia closed its borders to Georgian wine, leaving Georgian wine producers to explore new markets for the wonderful fruits of their millennial winemaking tradition.
