Georgian Wine - National Wine Agency

"Georgia proudly holds the title of the homeland of wine" - this is how CNN begins its story about the history and culture of Georgian wine.
With the initiative of the National Wine Agency, an article with the title "History of Georgian Wine - 8000 years of continuous vintage" was published on the official website of the American TV company CNN.
The article mentions the scientific conclusion that proves that the 8,000-year history of winemaking began on the territory of Georgia.
"The landscape of Georgia, blessed with a moderate climate favorable for growing grapes, has become the home of more than 525 local grape varieties. The famous Alazani Valley, set against the backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains, is a haven for winemaking, with a combination of well-saturated, mineral-rich soils and altitude that contribute to the distinctive flavors and aromas characteristic to Georgian wine. Georgia is the only country where the wine-making culture, which began 8,000 years ago, has not been forgotten, but has been further developed and strengthened. The most common ritual of Georgian viticulture is the ancient tradition of making kvevri wine.
"The use of large egg-shape clay pots buried in the ground allows for natural temperature regulation during fermentation, giving it an unique texture and complexity," the article reads.
The article notes that the country's strategic location facilitated trade connections with Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Excerpt from the article: "Because Kvevri has been declared a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, Georgia's ancient winemaking practice continues to be globally attractive... If you want to discover the birthplace of winemaking, Georgia, Georgian Wine brings to life step-by-step the winemaking process from soil to bottle.
The article also tells us about Georgian cuisine, wine festivals and wine tours established in Georgia, which attract both local residents and tourists."
