The relevant departments of the National Wine Agency of Georgia regularly carry out quality monitoring of alcoholic beverages to ensure that tens of millions of liters of Georgian wine and other alcoholic beverages comply with international standards, remain competitive, and are increasingly in demand.
According to data from January to June 2025, within the framework of state control — which verifies the compliance of technological processes in wineries with the requirements of Georgian legislation — violations were identified in 11 samples from 8 companies out of 561 samples taken from 135 companies.
