The International Wine and Spirits Exhibition "London Wine Fair 2022" was held at the Olympia London Exhibition Center, with the support of the National Wine Agency and the participation of 17 Georgian wine companies.
 "The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture and the National Wine Agency continue to support wine companies to establish their place in the world wine market. The exhibition in London is attended by wine experts, representatives of the wine trade and media from around the world. Participation in the exhibition is the best chance for Georgian wine companies to present their products to British consumers, which contributes to the growth of Georgian wine exports to both the UK and various strategic markets around the world," - said David Tkemaladze, Deputy Chairman of the National Wine Agency.
Within the framework of the exhibition, the head of the National Wine Agency contractor marketing company, Swirl Wine Group, British Master of Wine - Sarah Abbott, held a presentation-tasting on Georgian wine for wine professionals.
At the exhibition, which has been held since 1981 and is considered one of the major events in the wine sector, this year, about 400 participants from around the world presented more than 3,000 alcoholic beverages of various types.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Georgia to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Sophio Katsarava and envoy Giorgi Saganelidze attended the exhibition.
 "One of the priorities of our diplomatic mission is to promote the growth of Georgian wine exports to the UK. The trend in recent years is quite positive - exports to the UK are growing every year," - said Sophio Katsarava.
The UK is one of the strategic markets for Georgian wine, where various marketing activities are carried out with the financial and organizational support of the National Wine Agency. In January-May of this year, up to 260 thousand bottles of wine were exported from Georgia to the UK, which is 53% more than in the same period last year.
