The Qvevri wine producing Georgian companies took part in the International Wine Exhibition Raw Wine (The Artisan Wine Fair) held in New York.
The exhibition Raw Wine was attended by more than a hundred wine producers and several thousand guests from various countries. This exhibition is considered to be one of the best, where high quality natural and biodynamic wine producers gather. Visitors of the exhibition were able to taste Georgian Qvevri wine, get acquainted with the ancient traditions of its production, culture and history of the country.
With the support of the National Wine Agency, the following wine companies participated in the exhibition: "Gotsa Family Wines", "Tibaani", "Artana Wines", "Wine Thieves", "Akhmeta Wine House" and "Nikala Wine Cellar".
These companies will also be presented at the exhibition "RAW Wine LA", which will be held in Los Angeles on November 11-12. The introduction of Georgian wine in the exhibitions increases the awareness of the Qvevri wine, which gives the possibility to find potential importers and grow the export. According to the data of 10 months of the current year, Georgia has exported 400 thousand bottles of wine (0,75 l) to the US, which exceeds the same indicator of the previous year by 1%.
