Influential U.S. Publication VinePair Features Georgian Wine in Extensive Special Report

One of the world's leading wine and spirits media platforms, VinePair, has published an in-depth feature titled "The 17 Best Wines from Georgia," highlighting the diversity of Georgian wines, the country's millennia-old winemaking tradition, and its vibrant contemporary wine culture. The article was produced with the support of the National Wine Agency of Georgia and its U.S. communications partner, Glodow Nead Communications.

The feature was written by renowned wine journalist Edward Deitch, who visited Georgia in May 2026. As part of a wine tour organized with the support of the National Wine Agency, Deitch and other representatives of the American media participated in events marking National Wine Day and visited wineries in the Kakheti and Kartli wine regions, where they explored both Georgia's ancient winemaking traditions and modern production practices.

In the article, Deitch presents his selection of 17 outstanding Georgian wines, while emphasizing the unique characteristics that distinguish Georgia as one of the world's most remarkable wine-producing countries. The feature explores Georgia's 8,000-year-old winemaking history, the diversity of its indigenous grape varieties, the traditional qvevri winemaking method, and the dedication of Georgian winemakers.

"For most Americans, Georgian wines are an exciting new discovery. Indigenous grape varieties such as Saperavi, Rkatsiteli, Kisi, Chinuri, Goruli Mtsvane, and Tavkveri offer a distinctive tasting experience unlike anything they have encountered before. Georgia is a country where wine is inseparable from history and culture. A symbolic representation of this is the iconic Mother of Kartli monument overlooking Tbilisi, holding a sword in one hand and a bowl of wine in the other," the article states.

VinePair is regarded as one of the world's most influential media platforms dedicated to wine, spirits, and beverage culture. Reaching millions of readers each month, the publication plays a significant role in shaping international wine trends and consumer preferences, particularly among younger and modern audiences.

As part of its long-term strategy to promote Georgian wine internationally, increase global awareness, and support the development of wine tourism, the National Wine Agency of Georgia continues to collaborate with leading international media organizations, including CNN, CBS, Netflix, The New York Times, Wine Enthusiast, and other prominent global publications.
