Georgian prime minister Irakli Garibashvili on Sunday attended a new, annual wine festival - Wine Days in Georgia and said the country has been recognised by the “whole world” as the “homeland of wine”.

Garibashvili noted Georgia had an 8,000-year-old continuous tradition of winemaking and expressed his hope that “even more tourists” would visit not only the country’s wine region of Kakheti, but all the regions producing wine, adding the main message and the country’s trademark should be that Georgia is the homeland of wine.
