oh I forgot to mention one thing. did you notice how all the people we were talking with spoke very good English!? isn’t it surprising? quite remarkable for an ex-USSR republic. Georgia has come a long way! 👍

[@harrydecker8731]

Beautiful country, beautiful villages, beautiful wineries! I love good wine, different wine. I never knew wine was made using underground clay pots. I would like to try that kind of wine. Never saw bread shaped like a duck. I’d like to try that too. Thank you Slava and Lena for showing us this beautiful part of the world.

Another great video ! Georgia is a beautiful country . The wine sounds like it would be really tasty .

[@cabaddude]

Good job Only knew about Georgia due to an NBA player named Zaza Pachulia. Also, MMA Champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, is from that part of the world. That country seems to be the first to make wine so I will definitely try it as soon as I can, surprised they’re not advertised as such.

26:30 Interesting. I'd never heard of *Chacha (brandy).* It's made from the grape "solids" (skin, pulp, seeds, and stems) that remain after pressing for juice or wine.

[@eagleeye182]

Chacha is a pomace brandy. Pomace is pretty much the leftovers of the grapes after wine making. It`s traditionally homebrewed by local Georgians.

I live in Sonoma County CA which is an area well known for its wines and I really enjoyed getting to see inside the Georgian wineries and how the winemakers go about their process because it differs so much from CA in a number of ways.

[@RussianPlus]

glad you could join us!:)

[@catherinepoloynis]

I think the traditional 8000-yr-old Qvevri method is the exceptional thing here and makes Georgia wine production more interesting than anywhere else. It is the root of human wine production for western civilization. The modern wineries were not as interesting because I live in Sonoma Co, California where one cannot throw a rock wthout hitting a winery. The archaeology/anthropology 'soul of man' and survival for 8K years is where it's at.

[@stereodreamer23]

I really love Georgian wines, but they can be hard to find in some parts of the US.

A trip to Georgia is definitely on my "Bucket List" of places I MUST visit. What a beautiful country!

Are you diving now into the wine industry ? Why not. With your excellent english speaking skills may be you climb up to an ambassadeur of the georgian wine industry. China is a big market but see what happened to the australian wine industry. First they bought most of the vine yards but later when most of them were depending on the export to China they increased the taxes as tool for their politicals wills. Good luck Slava

This is a great video 👍 Would look for Georgian wine in around Boston, maybe find some Giuaani wine around. :-)

[@RussianPlus]

Who knows maybe you find it :)

[@ericgrjansen3957]

nice video and sunny information. The wine culture was of course never destroyed by anybody and is today more commercialized as it was ever before. The wine farmers always did make their great wines and there is no reason to believe that the big companies are poor or doing some amazing things. Please also think about showing Ukrainian flags that implement political issues in a video for people all over the world in all of their diversity and from everywhere. Good video but too strong on fancy big companies orientated and political coloured. so for this one no thumb.
