The country of Georgia, located on the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has a fascinating history, a wide variety of traditions, and a distinct and unique culture. A country of contrasts, with broad mountain ranges, sub-tropical beaches, rolling meadows, and southern deserts, Georgia has something for everyone. Commonly known as the birthplace of wine, this beverage plays an essential part in many aspects of Georgian life. Countless millennia of wine in Georgian history, wine production and exportation’s key role in the contemporary economy, and the traditions of wine practiced throughout the country have made the drink inseparable from many aspects of Georgian regional and national identity.
