Representatives attended a Georgian wine masterclass, which was held by famous British journalist and wine writer, Andrew Jefford.
I’ve been working in the field of wine-making for 30 years. I discovered Georgian wine six years ago. Both traditional and classic Georgian wines are excellent for me. Qvevri-made (Qvevri is a traditional Georgian egg-shaped vessel, that is used for making, ageing and storing the wine) wine is always a novelty, different, diverse, unique, something you cannot taste elsewhere. I’m happy that I had the opportunity to taste and present the unique taste of Georgian wines to others today”, said Jefford.
