A total of 12 Georgian wine companies and four family cellars are participating in the international wine fair VinExpo Bordeaux - 2019 in France, announces Georgian National Wine Agency.
This is the third time Georgian wine has been represented at the exhibition but this year qvevri (a large, ancient Georgian winemaking vessel) winemaking cellars have been presented for the first time at wine fair.
This year Georgian wine is present with a diversity of varieties in Bordeaux, which further contributes to the promotion of Georgian wine and increase awareness around the world. This will eventually reflect on the volume of exports and will maintain the increasing dynamic of the recent years”, said Elene Kiknadze, chief specialist of the Marketing and PR Department of the National Wine Agency.
