Georgia rightfully claims the title of being the cradle of world winemaking, boasting an impressive cultural and historical heritage spanning 8000 years. Wine has always been an intrinsic aspect of every Georgian's life, earning it the colloquial label of "part of the blood of every Georgian." A unique facet of Georgian winemaking lies in the ancient technique of producing wine in qvevris - big clay vessels that are buried in the ground. Our journey will lead us to explore qvevri production and amber wine, a contemporary global trend that has always been deeply intertwined with Georgian tradition. We will delve into the gradual erosion of Georgian winemaking traditions due to the Soviet legacy, and how modern Georgian winemaking is on a quest to define its identity pursuing international export opportunities while circumventing the Russian market. Furthermore, we will know abouat the cultivation of a new generation of talented female winemakers within a patriarchal society.
