“Georgian Wine from the 2025 Harvest Will Be the Best” – Minister David Songulashvili

Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, David Songulashvili, visited the grape harvest coordination headquarters in Gurjaani to inspect the ongoing harvest process in the Kakheti region. During his visit, the minister received operational updates on grape processing and harvest storage.

“The harvest is a very important period for both winegrowers and the wine industry as a whole, as it marks the creation of one of Georgia’s main export products – Georgian wine,” said Songulashvili. “At the beginning of the year, we emphasized the importance of improving grape quality to ensure that Georgian wine remains competitive in the global market.”

He noted that grape growers were informed about a new incentive: they will receive higher compensation for well-conditioned, high-quality grapes. According to the minister, the current harvest is progressing well, and the majority of grapes being processed are healthy and well-conditioned.

“This is a clear sign that Georgian wine from the 2025 harvest will be the best yet,” Songulashvili added.

Highlighting the country’s viticultural heritage, the minister stressed that the competitiveness of Georgian wine lies in its quality and uniqueness. “Georgia is the cradle of wine, and Georgian wine is undoubtedly unique. That’s why we have the ambition to produce high-quality, globally sought-after wines.”
