Georgia has exported 19 per cent more wine to Poland in the first half of this year compared to the same period in 2023 – a report has shown.
The Georgian National Wine Agency (LEPL), a department of the ministry of agriculture that controls and certifies the quality of Georgian wine, has reported that Poland is one of their five most promising export markets.
Based on data from the first six months of 2023 and 2024, it reported that exports have increased from 2.67 to 3.18 million liters year on year.
“The value of exports increased by 17%, from $6.73 million in the first half of 2023 to $7.85 million in the same period of 2024,” the Agency reported.
Georgia exported wine to 65 countries last year, and is continuing to expand its business ventures in Europe, the United States and Asia, the report said.
In 2013, the famous Georgian winemaking method called “qvevri” was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage practice by the UN-agency, UNESCO. It is an 8,000-year-old tradition that uses an earthenware egg-shaped vessel called a “qvevri” to store wine
The head of marketing of the Georgian wine regulator, Tamta Kvelaidze, said: "One of the most popular trends in natural and so-called amber wines currently has its origins in Georgia, where qvevri are used for fermentation – clay vessels that are buried in the ground to maintain a constant and low temperature.
“In Poland, red, semi-sweet Georgian wines have had their fans for years, but dry varieties are gaining more and more admirers every year.”
