Dating back over 8,000 years, the history and tradition of Georgian wine are as rich and great as the wines themselves. Georgia's winemaking heritage is interlaced with the culture and history of the country, and it is recognized as one of the ancient wine regions in the world.
The tradition of using Qvevri, large earthenware vessels for fermenting and storing wine, passed down through generations, is now a part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Georgian wine history is also marked by its flexibility, surviving periods of trouble and triumph. The revival of ancient grape varieties and winemaking techniques in recent years highlights a commitment to preserving this precious legacy.
