In the last 5 months of 2023, Georgia is leading in terms of supplying still wines to Russia. In this indicator, Georgia surpassed Italy.
The Russian publication "Kommersant" disseminates information about this, based on the customs authorities of Russia.
The import of Georgian wine to Russia increased by 63% and exceeded 24 million liters. At the same time, 23.4 million liters of Italian wine were imported into Russia - supply has increased by 31%. Imports from other countries have also increased - Spain, France and Portugal.
According to experts, the increase in the supply of wine from Georgia is due to the "absence of problems related to payment and logistics", as well as to the contracts that Russian trading networks make directly with producers. Georgian wine is also subject to zero import duty and its price is relatively stable.
