I often say that Georgians have their own very particular understanding of wine and its place in their culture. They almost worship it. But there will be no snobbery here. Because in Georgia, wine is not something to be placed on a pedestal, endlessly discussed, and saved for the right occasion. It is an inseparable part of everyday culture — present in every home, at every table, and shared without ceremony. 

This practical, almost instinctive approach to wine is perhaps best reflected in Georgia’s famous amber wines. So, the next time you find yourself saving a bottle for a “special” occasion, the perfect dish, the right guest, or the proper glass, think of the Georgians — and simply open it for yourself.
