Georgië ligt in de Kaukasus en hoort bij de oudste wijnculturen ter wereld. Veel wijn rijpt nog in ingegraven qvevri-kruiken. Bekende stijlen zijn amberwijn, rode wijn van saperavi en witte wijn van rkatsiteli. Belangrijke wijnbouwregios zijn Kakheti, Kartli en Imereti. In Kakheti gaat bij traditionele bereiding vaak de volledige chacha mee in de gisting. In west-Georgië volgt men vaker de Imereti-methode met hooguit een derde chacha in de kruik. Sinds 2013 staat de Georgische qvevri-wijnbereiding op de UNESCO-lijst van immaterieel cultureel erfgoed. Zie ook: Qvevri, chacha, Imereti-methode en Georgische wijn
Georgia lies in the Caucasus and belongs to the oldest wine cultures in the world. Much wine still ages in buried qvevri jars. Known styles are amber wine, red wine from Saperavi and white wine from Rkatsiteli. Important regions are Kakheti, Kartli and Imereti. In Kakheti traditional making often puts the full chacha into the ferment. In western Georgia the Imereti method is more common, with at most a third of the chacha in the jar. Since 2013 Georgian qvevri winemaking is on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage. See also: Qvevri, chacha, Imereti method and Georgian wine.
