Georgia, like its Armenian neighbour, boasts an 8,000-year-old tradition. Much of the discourse around Georgian wine centres around the qvevri method of fermenting wine in clay vessels and skin-contact white wines (here called Amber wines). There is a wealth of indigenous grapes, some are even planted widely abroad Saperavi and Rkatsiteli can be found throughout Central Asia, the Middle East, and even in Australia and the US.
