GEORGIA WINE COUNTRY

Georgia is a land where wine has been made for at least 8,000 years. In fact, no where in the world has evidence of wine making been found dating back as far as in Georgia. Also fascinating is the fact that the type of large jars known as kvevri which are still used to make wine in Georgia today have been encountered - with wine residue on them - by archaeologists investigating Neolithic sites in Georgia... Georgia is also optimistic about their future ability to grow big on the European Union market, especially after the comprehensive Association Agreement between the EU and Georgia entered into force in 2016. At the time of writing, Georgia is not an official candidate for EU membership, but keep close ties with EU and has expressed a desire to become a candidate.
