"International exhibitions are the most appealing for diversifying Georgian wine export markets since they attract top wine specialists, importers, and media representatives worldwide.
Over 100,000 visitors, including distributors, importers, and wine experts, traditionally attend ProWine Shanghai. China is one of the most intriguing, promising, and important markets for Georgian wine exports. For the past few years, the National Wine Agency has been actively carrying out various types of marketing campaigns in the mentioned market as part of the Georgian wine promotion program. As a result, Georgian wine exports to the Chinese market have increased since 2013." said Mr. Otar Shamugia.
