Georgian amber wines have become the 8th category of wine to be added to the International Organisation for Vine and Wine (OIV) list.

Georgian National Wine Agency announced today that the OIV had added Georgian white wine with maceration to the list of its special wines.

Until now, the OIV special wine list included seven wines: sparkling wines, carbonated wines, fortified wines, liqueur wines, sweet wines with residual sugar derived from grapes, ‘icewine’, flor or film wines.

The International Organisation of Vine and Wine accepted the proposal of Georgia to add the white wine fermented with long maceration on skins to the categories of OIV special wines in 2017.
